Frommer's Review
This is one of the most ecologically conscious, and one of the most luxurious, Club Meds in the Western Hemisphere. Set at the edge of one of the most pristine beaches in the archipelago, about 3km (2 miles) north of Cockburn Town, this is the splashiest resort in the Southern Bahamas. Its promoters estimate that more than 30% of the island's population works at the club.
Most of the prefabricated buildings here were barged to the site in 1991. The resort is built around a large free-form swimming pool. The public rooms are some of the most lavish and cosmopolitan in the country, with art and art objects imported from Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, and assembled by a battalion of designers. Bedrooms each contain a private balcony or patio, furniture that was custom-made in Thailand or the Philippines, sliding glass doors, and feathered wall hangings crafted in the Brazilian rainforest by members of the Xingu tribe. Rooms are large (among the most spacious in the entire chain). Most have twin beds, but you might be able to snag one of the units with a double or a king-size bed, if you're lucky. Each comes with a midsize bathroom with shower stall. Dozens of multilingual GOs (guest relations organizers, or gentils organisateurs) are on hand to help initiate newcomers into the resort's many diversions. Unlike many other Club Meds, this one does not encourage children and deliberately offers no particular facilities for their entertainment.
The main dining room, where meals are an ongoing series of buffets, lies in the resort's center. Two specialty restaurants offer Italian and grilled food, respectively. Nonfat, low-calorie, and vegetarian dishes are also featured. Nightly entertainment is presented in a covered open-air theater and dance floor behind one of the bars.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 bars; disco; pool; 10 tennis courts; health club; watersports equipment/rentals; laundry service or coin-operated laundry; nonsmoking rooms
