The beds are actually comfortable (you know how hit-or-miss that can be), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. Air conditioning works reliably too, which in the Bahamas is pretty much non-negotiable.

The staff knows the area well and can point you toward the good local spots that aren’t necessarily in the guidebooks. You’ll find yourself spending time just sitting and watching the harbor activity — it’s surprisingly entertaining.
