Frommer's Review

The beach at this resort is a major attraction. It is one of the first eco-resorts in The Bahamas and still the only hotel on undeveloped Stocking Island. Higgins Landing takes great care to preserve the natural beauty of its surroundings on this gorgeous island. It's bordered by Elizabeth Harbour and the Atlantic on one side, the crystal blue waters of Turtle Lagoon and its colorful reefs on the other. This solar-powered hideaway is one of the self-billed great escapes of The Bahamas.

Cottages are exquisitely decorated with antiques, mirrors, and Higgins family heirlooms. Accommodations are furnished with queen-size beds, and each unit is given an island accent with cool tile floors and ceiling fans, plus a well-maintained private bathroom with shower stalls. The landscaped grounds are as colorful as your imagination, attracting many types of wildlife, ranging from herons and hummingbirds to green sea turtles. The island is reached by hotel ferry service from George Town.

Rates include a full breakfast and a candlelit first-rate dinner (nonguests are welcome, too, with advance reservations). The open-air bar overlooks the water.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; watersports equipment/rentals; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms
