Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort

Frommer's Review

This cozy nest has become the most luxurious resort on the island, taking over the position long held by the Stella Maris Resort Club. Cottages with two rooms are centered around a clubhouse, and the entire complex opens onto a stunning 6.5km (4-mile) strip of white sand. All units are only 18m (59 ft.) from the beach, which offers great snorkeling. Although the accommodations don't have phones or TVs, each room is air-conditioned and also has ceiling fans, plus a small bathroom with a tub/shower. Bedrooms have a light, tropical, and airy feeling, with marble floors and tasteful rattan furniture. As part of a multimillion-dollar development, the resort in 2006 added eight beachfront villas, each with luxury appointments such as jetted tubs and an Internet service. There's also a screened-in porch with ceiling fans so you can enjoy the outdoors without the mosquitoes, the curse of the Southern Bahamas. The place is ideal for families, and several accommodations are configured so that children will have a separate room. The hotel's 65-seat restaurant is also good, serving a tasty Bahamian, North American, and seafood cuisine.
