A Bahamas resort called the Palm Bay Beach Club  on Great Exuma  has a reputation of being a tranquil escape which is well off the beaten track. It consists of 40 beautifully appointed typical Bahama style cottages. The beach here is secluded and almost deserted, and you can dive on a coral reef or fish to your heart’s content. The Beach Club has heated pools, a beach bar, and grill, and yet it doesn’t look much when you see it first from the road, which proves you should never judge a book by its cover, because what you will find is a charming place with very clean rooms, very friendly staff, and lovely views of the bay.

The rooms have a large enclosed patio with a table and four chairs. The floors throughout the rooms are tiled, and there is a large living area with satellite TV. There are fans, and you will probably not need air conditioning due to the breezes.

One of the best features of the Palm Bay Beach Club is its proximity to Georgetown which is less than a mile away and easily accessible for groceries and booze in a free shuttle. The rooms in the beach Club as well as being very comfortable have a small kitchen with a microwave, coffee maker, and a fridge.

It is nice to have the option of self catering on occasions, but you will find the  Splash restaurant at the Palm Bay Beach Club serves very good food, with a nightly special and a great selection of desserts. In many people’s opinion the restaurant is the best on Great Exuma. It is also good to be able to have a ‘Take Away’ facility, so you can take your food back to your room to eat.

This is a Bahamas Resort that is still family owned and run, and there is little doubt that this happy circumstance  makes a difference to your Bahamas vacation, and is one very good reason leaving everything else out, to choose the Palm Bay Beach Club.

One of the great things is how relaxing and stress free this Bahamas resort comes across as. You will waken every morning to see the lovely crystal clear water of Elizabeth Harbour, and if you look the other way you will realise you are surrounded by lush green tropical vegetation in a lovely contrast of colours.

Palm Bay Beach Club is very well staffed, a tribute to the owners, and everyone is both helpful and friendly, and they will do anything to make sure you have a great Bahamas Vacation.

The Palm Bay Beach Club provides kayaks, paddle boats, and hobies, but it is suggested you rent a boat from Minns, and this will enable you to go when and where you want to explore, shop and eat. Car rental can be difficult so organise this before you arrive so you can have the best of both worlds, so you can get to different parts of the beautiful island of Great Exuma.

It is always difficult to do justice to a hotel or resort, and the Palm Bay Beach Club is no exception. The best thing to say that there are almost no bad reports from people who have chosen it as their Bahamas resort for their vacation. It is simple and beautiful and a perfect Caribbean escape.
