No wonder why tourism is minimal here, unlike not so far away Harbour Island. SW doesn not offer much to do as far as attractions nor culture. The beaches here are nice, but not even as impressive as nearby Harbour Island with its majestic pink sands beaches. I would say skip SW and go elsewhere. Besides the beach beauty, you... more

My husband, kids and I have been regular visitors to Spanish Wells for several years now, and ALWAYS have had an awesome time. This is an island where we feel safe and welcome. To get there, fly into North Eleuthera Airport, and then grab a ground taxi cab and a 5-minute ferry ride to the Spanish Wells dock. Right at... more

My partner and I and another couple spent 10 days on Spanish Wells this winter. Pretty much the ONLY thing this place has going for it are the beaches which are beautiful. Read some earlier reviews. This is an almost pure white town in an overwhelmingly black country. It seems like every second person is named Pinder (you will recognize... more

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful one week vacation in Spanish Wells and will definitely go back. We do not care for resorts or organized activities. We wanted a peaceful getaway andt o do absolutely nothing for a week. We rented a reasonably priced villa that we found on the internet which was on a gorgeous stretch... more

We just got back from a month long vacation in spanish wells and can't wait to return. If you truly do want to get away from it all and don't mind cooking at your beachfront villa, then go to spanish wells. It was the perfect calm sandy beach for families with young children. You can run along the beach in... more

I would not recommend Spanish Wells at all. There was absolutely nothing to do on the island other than go to the beach. Although, the beaches are beautiful. This island made me feel like I didn't even leave home. It's in serious needs of some access to the real world. Suburbs in the Bahamas is the best thing to describe... more

My husband and I stayed on Spanish Wells for four nights and do not recommend it. While we are not touristy people (preferring out-of-the-way places to resorts and big hotels), Spanish Wells felt more like a suburban community than a tropical vacation. The houses are all clustered together and the island lacks space. It was a little odd that the... more

I just returned from the Island yestuday and wish I didn't have too. It was absolutly amazing. The people are all so friendly you feel as though your with family you never met. I enjoyed snorkling, fishing, and parting. I live in Orlando so I deal with the hussel and bussel of city life and this is the perfect place... more
