‘Hot’ on the scene and
ready to ‘wow’ guests
is Sandals Emerald Bay, one hundred
and
eighty beautiful villas and bay
house style accommodations. The
resort
is complete with an eighteen
hole Greg
Norman-designed golf course where
you can tee of in style like
the pros.
Sandals Emerald Bay boasts a
seventeen acre stand alone marina,
the first
ever at any of the Sandals properties.
At Grand Isles Resort & Spa
meeting your expectation as a
guest is mediocrity
at best .. exceeding guest expectations
is the aim here. Stay at the
Grand and be blown away by the
meticulous
attention tothose little special
gestures (like using your name
when they address
you, knowing the way you take
your coffee in the morning and
the way
you enjoy turn down service in
the evening)
that adds to your overall experience.
Its preferential treatment that
pushes the envelope for other
properties to subscribe and set
new standards
of
expectation in your mind the
next time you check-in anywhere.
Palm
Bay Beach
Club is a great family vacation
lodge.
Tastefully appointed quaint Bahamian
cottages with an ambiance that
gives way to a feel of being
home-away-from-home. Needless
to say that you would
enjoy
your stay at any of these properties
but you will be pleased to know
that investment opportunities
are available
at all of them giving you an
opportunity to stake claim to
a small piece
of paradise. To stay charged
up for all of the land explorations
and water
activities
that
you will get involved in stop
into Iva Bowes’, Big D’s
Conch Shack and Eddie’s
Edgewater to enjoy great local
cuisine .. be sure
to try the boiled fish and Johnny
cake, the cracked conch burger
and if you
take a day’s trip over
to Stalking Island don’t
leave before checking out the ‘Chat & Chill’ beach
bar for a scrumptious serving
of conch salad and a cold Kalik,
a Bahamian
brewed beer. And among all the
sights to take in don’t
leave before stopping in at Government
Wharf, where
most of the locals gather and
the town’s
daily activities take place.
Be sure to cross the demarcation
line of the
Tropic of Cancer (which runs
through Georgetown) just to say
that you did!
Snorkelers will just love the
Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park
(the first of
its kind in the world, and the
first marine fishery reserve
in the Caribbean
accessible only by boat) for
its pristine beauty: transparent
turquoise waters
and coral teeming with fish and
lobster – well
worth every effort getting there.
A great time to visit would be
during the annual Family Islands
Regatta
each April. During the four days
of regatta
Bahamian sailors arrive prepared
to sail their locally built sloops
for
the much coveted “Best in The
Bahamas” title. The competition
is fierce and the atmosphere
is charged with excitement as
boating
enthusiasts
the world over come to participate
and watch. If you miss this one
then arrange to be at the Staniel
Cay
Cruising Regatta where residents
and visitors
on Staniel Cay ring in the New
Year with a traditional regatta,
charity
auction and floating driving
range.
The Exumas – it is surely,
island living at its most ingenious:
a place
where boundaries magically blur,
redefining your perspective on
dream tropical
vacations. |
