Baycaner Beach Resort

Frommer's Review

In operation since 1996, this is the only hotel on the island that can even lay a claim to being that. Its owner, Ernal Brown, is called "Shorty" by all the locals, and he's the man to see if you're one of the rare visitors who ever makes it to this part of the world. You can literally jump from your simply furnished bedroom right into the water. The bedrooms contain a comfortable bed and a scattering of wicker furnishings, along with a small air conditioner; each comes with a little, well-maintained bathroom. The lobby adjoins the dining room and bar, the latter popular with locals. You might have the dining room to yourself, however. Dig into that Bahamian staple of brown pigeon peas 'n' rice. Most meals feature conch -- perhaps in a chowder or freshly made salad -- and the inevitable grouper, the most popular fish caught off island. The hotel cook bakes fresh bread daily.
