Frommer's Review

This beachfront resort -- Marsh Harbour's biggest and best -- is a good choice, especially if you're serious about diving or fishing. Extending over sprawling acreage at the edge of town and fronting a small, lovely beach, it's a business with several different faces: the hotel, with handsomely furnished rooms that overlook the Sea of Abaco; the well-managed restaurant and bar; the Boat Harbour Marina, which has slips for 180 boats and full docking facilities; and a full-fledged dive shop.

Angler's Restaurant, which is on-site, offers one of Marsh Harbour's best dining experiences. A swim-up bar and a beachfront bar serve snacks and grog.

To reach the resort from Marsh Harbour Airport, take a taxi (US$15/£7.50, but be sure to agree on the price first with the driver; 6.5km/4 miles).

Facilities:
Restaurant; 2 bars; 2 pools; 2 tennis courts; fitness room; free use of watersports equipment; boat rentals; bike rentals; dive shop; gift shop; massage; coin-operated laundry; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

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.
