I am a pilot and stay here frequently. This is a beautiful property with a great cove beach and marina. The staff is friendly but it is the Bahamas and you do have to factor that into your expectations. Bahamians pretty much don't care. The place could be burning down with a pool right next door and no one would... More

Spent the last 3 days fishing with Skipper on the Carolina Gentleman. It was a great experience, he has a clean boat, excellent service, and was very friendly. We caught dolphin and saw a blue marlin. We caught some yellowtail one afternoon and had some sushi on the boat, it was fantastic! I would highly recommend chartering a day on... More

Went here on a trip for work. I arrived at 7pm and found that the island restaurants close by 8pm, the hotel restaurant closes at 9. You better eat early! LOL. The food was good there, both dinner and breakfast. They had a very good marina from the looks of it.

Full disclosure: This was our first trip to the Bahamas. That having been said, however, hearing all the stories about Nassau, Freeport, and other major cruise ship ports of call, I cannot imagine a more "authentic" island getaway than to Marsh Harbour and the Abaco Beach Resort. The place is gorgeous and relaxed, and the staff, while wearing many hats... More

I came from chilly Boston to this beautiful resort, right after Christmas via boat from West Palm Beach. The marina is gorgeous. The resort beautiful. The grounds are perfect as was all the staff. The weather could not be beat also...that always helps. All the facilities are in working order and spotlessly clean. The restaurant was as good as any... More

For reference, I have been to Turks and Caicos multiple times, St Thomas, Dominican, Aruba, Great Exuma, and Anguilla. We went in the off off season and saw only 4 or 5 guests besides ourselves. Hurricane Sandy had taken down the internet antenna so our room (which was on the far end) did not have service. I inquired about this,... More
