I generally try to write mostly positive reviews and have a lot of patience for things not being perfect. We stayed at this marina 5 nights to wait out weather. The grounds are beautiful, the staff are friendly and helpful and I would have given this a 5 star review BUT the pricing is the most ridiculous, convoluted, and swarmy system we have come across in the Bahamas and all of our travels. We are traveling with another boat, the exact same boat- same size and everything, and our reservations were booked over the phone by one person at the in one phone call. However, one of us was charged at a different rate, AND each day the rates for both of us changed "based on demand", but the marina is not even half full. They also have this system of renting "idols" which are shares of members' slips and these rentals provide some degree of discount. The staff cannot even explain the system well, nor is it clear what rate of discount you get when you purchase the idol. Once you rent an idol, your rate for water and electric increase. We are not cheap, but prefer to be in the decision making seat about where and how much money we will spend. This marina's nebulous rate system left such a bad taste in our mouths that as lovely as it is here, we likely will never return. I can't even advise folks how to better navigate it, and I am an intelligent, well-educated successful person. Just beware if you come here- you will not be able to make sense of it either. None of us in the marina could!!

Super easy check in process and marina staff was very helpful and nice. The resort and grounds are pretty but not meticulously maintained. For us we were pleasantly surprised after reading some of the reviews. The pool is nice, beach on property with a tiki bar and the food at the restaurant was very good. Overall I would recommend this marina and we will come back.
