Peace & Plenty Bonefish Lodge

Frommer's Review

South of George Town, this is one of three Peace & Plenty properties in the Exumas -- and the poshest of them all. It caters almost exclusively to fishermen and their companions. In a setting of young palms, the two-story inn is built of concrete and stone, and lies on a peninsula enveloped by crystal-clear waters and sandy flats. This is the most elegant bonefishing inn in The Bahamas; you can fish all day and come back to be pampered in luxury.

The lobby is inviting, with tile floors and rattan pieces. From many of the midsize rooms opening onto the wraparound balcony, you'll have a great view of the turquoise waters, or perhaps you'd rather doze in a hammock. Accommodations are furnished in bright floral spreads and prints, with air-conditioning and ceiling fans, along with spacious, immaculate bathrooms and tub/showers. You don't have to be an angler to stay here -- but it helps. If you don't fish, you may be left out of the conversation at night.

The food served in the clubby dining room is excellent, with a well-trained chef who not only knows how to grill your steak to perfection, but can whip up a vegetarian platter, too. Of course, the finest way to dine here is on fish caught that day by the chef or one of the guests. After cleaning the fish, he tosses scraps to the resident sharks in the adjoining waters. This is the chief evening entertainment, although there's an honor bar and a lobby lounge upstairs with TV and VCR.
