Pink Sands ReviewPosh and sophisticated, this hideaway is just the place to sneak away to with that special (wealthy) someone. The elegant, relaxed retreat occupies an 11-hectare (27-acre) beachfront estate, located adjacent to a 5km (3-mile) stretch of pink sand sheltered by a barrier reef. Although it feels a bit like a pricey private club, it's less snobbish and a lot more hip than the Dunmore Beach Club. The resort's outrageous clubhouse is the most beautifully and imaginatively decorated room in the Out Islands. Guests here get some of the best meals on the island, an "A-B-C" fusion of Asian, Bahamian, and Caribbean cuisine. Dinner is an elegant four-course nightly affair. Lunches are much less formal, served in the Blue Bar, a postmodern beachside pavilion. The airy, spacious accommodations occupy cement-sided cottages scattered throughout the grounds and gardens. Depending on the configuration and size, each cottage contains one or two separate units, with either an ocean or a garden view, mahogany furniture, and elaborate tile work. Each has a pressurized water system, walk-in closets, and private patios with teak furnishings. The interior design features marble floors with area rugs, oversized Adirondack furniture, local art, and batik fabrics. Fax machines and cellular phones can be supplied if you need them.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
