Stella Maris Resort Club

Situated on a ridge overlooking the Atlantic, this resort stands in a palm grove on the grounds of the old Adderley's Plantation. Though you can swim here, the beach isn't the best, so the hotel maintains a cabana at Cape Santa Maria, a gorgeous beach directly north, and offers shuttle service for its guests. Accommodations vary widely, ranging from rooms, studios, and apartments to cottages with one to four bedrooms. Each type of unit has its own walk-in closet and fully equipped bathroom; some are located directly on the water. All of the buildings, including the cottages and bungalows, are set around a central clubhouse and a trio of pools. The resort makes a great honeymoon destination; everything is relaxed and informal.

The on-site restaurant serves good Bahamian cuisine, as well as continental specialties. There are rum-punch parties, cave parties, barbecue dinners, Saturday dinners, dancing -- and complete diving facilities. Divers and snorkelers can choose from coral-head, reef, and drop-off sites along the island's protected west coast, north side, and all along the east coast, as well as around Conception Island and Rum Cay. Water-skiing and bottom- and reef fishing are also offered; there are three good bonefishing bays nearby. Hotel guests can use the 3.5m (11-ft.) Scorpion and Sunfish sailboats at no cost.
