The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Amazing Culinary Experience

I had an very nice dining experience at the resort's restaurant 1648. The food was excellently prepared and offered a wide variety of options. I can’t recommend the Bahamian soup enough—it was simply fantastic! The atmosphere during dinner, especially with beautiful sunset views, enhanced our meals. The attentive service added to the good experience; every dish we tried impressed us, especially the lobster and guava duff muffins with rum sauce. I truly felt like every meal was special!

Impressive Fitness Facility

During my stay, I made good use of the resort's fitness center. It was surprisingly well-equipped for a relatively small facility, boasting a range of professional-grade machines. I appreciated the cleanliness and organization of the space. It made it easy for me to keep up with my workout routine while enjoying a vacation, which is a big plus for a fitness enthusiast like me!

Luxury Accommodations

I was absolutely thrilled with my villa! It was beautifully designed with tasteful decor and provided all the amenities I could need. The spacious layout, including a fully equipped kitchen with Bosch appliances, allowed me to feel right at home. The balcony offered amazing views where I spent many evenings watching very nice sunsets. The comfort of the bed and the large bathroom made my stay even more enjoyable. I truly felt pampered!
