We recently returned from a two week stay in the one-bedroom apartment at Coral Gardens, and highly recommend it for anyone who likes to have delightful on-site island guides - Betty & Peter; the ability to "eat-in" as an option (we actually brought a suitcase filled with non-perishables, which saved lots of money. Modest breakfast or lunch "out" runs $30-50);... more

Darlene and I arrived from Houston not knowing what we were in for. What a pleasant surprise to find Peter and Betty Oxley eagerly waiting to be our newest best friends. Their sharing of their intimate knowledge of the Exhumas made our stay entertaining and enjoyable. Because of Peter's information, I was asked frequently how many times I had been... more

Peter and Betty are just lovely people, and thats the way they run their home. Peter is a wealth of knowledge about the island and is more than eager to share it. He is also an expert at openning coconuts, just check out his finger. We stayed in the one bedroom apartment with kitchen and deck. Its was very clean... more

There are times when you just need to escape the real world, and Coral Gardens helped us do that. Thanks to Delta's new direct service from Atlanta to Georgetown (GGT), we booked a trip to Exuma on a whim for Christmas 2007 and took a leap of faith. Before leaving for our trip, we worried about all the little things.... more

Jim and I had nothing to go on but the write-up and a few pictures from the website but we are adventurous and the price and location fit for us. We were meeting friends that had a boat and we were planning on spending a lot of time on the boat. Plans changed and our friends did not make it... more

We found Coral Gardens to be a very warm and inviting Bed & Breakfast. The rooms were clean, and roomy. A stay at Coral Gardens includes a continental breakfast and we were able to rent a car directly from the hotel. This saved us the inconvenience of having to drive somewhere to pick up a vehicle and then return it... more

The Coral Gardens B&B , Exuma Date: February 7th, 2008 Reviewers: Paul Taravella and Pat Copeland At first we were entranced by the Coral Gardens Website. The setting of the Bed & Breakfast run by Peter and Betty , a charming English couple, looked gorgeous. We were further captivated by the extemely reasonable rates. Finally, we wanted to stay in... more

Coral Gardens was a welcome break from the over-the-top Atlantis. As other reviewers have mentioned, Betty and Peter could not have been more helpful or welcoming. The room in the B&B was clean and comfortable. The highlight of our stay was renting a sailboat, and sailing across the harbor to a small island for lunch, drinks and stingray petting. more

I stayed in one of the B&B rooms at Coral Gardens in July. The hosts, Peter and Betty, were very nice and Peter particularly provided a great deal of information about the island. He was also very helpful and called to set up kayaking, sailing and diving trips. He knows where anything on the island is located and can give... more
