Club Peace & Plenty

Frommer's Review

This attractive, historic waterside inn is a classic island hotel in the heart of George Town. Once a sponge warehouse and later the home of a prominent family, it was converted into a hotel in the late 1940s, making it the oldest in the Exumas. The two-story pink-and-white hotel has dormers and balconies opening onto a water view. The grounds are planted with palms, crotons, and bougainvillea. Peace & Plenty fronts Elizabeth Harbour, making it a favorite of the yachting set, including former visitor Prince Philip.

The midsize units are all tastefully furnished, although there is still a lingering 1950s vibe. A refurbishment has freshened things up a bit with bright print spreads and draperies, and furnishings in white wicker or rattan. All rooms have queen, double, or twin beds, and a tiled bathroom with a tub/shower. Many also contain balconies opening onto harbor views; oceanfront rooms are the most desirable.

You can dine either indoors or outside, with calypso music on the terrace. There are also two cocktail lounges, one of which was converted from an old slave kitchen and is now filled with nautical gear including lanterns, rudders, and anchors. The hotel faces Stocking Island and maintains a private beach club there, offering food and bar service, as well as kilometers of sandy dunes. A boat, free for hotel guests ($8/£4.25 round-trip for nonguests), makes the run.
