The 6 Best Value Hotels in the Bahamas
1.Pigeon Cay Beach Club
Intimate Pigeon Cay Beach Club is located on the largely underdeveloped Cat Island (130 miles southeast of Nassau), where it is possible to walk along the beautiful coast for miles without seeing a soul, or a boat, dock or jet ski.A similar end-of-the-world spirit is found in this small, charming, run-down hotel, where seven rustic cabins overlook a beautiful beach with blue-green water that truly deserves the word “breathtaking.” Televisions, air conditioning and Wi-Fi are happily out of order, allowing guests to explore the island by bicycle, canoe or kayak (all free of charge) or stroll quietly past the honor bar on the beach.Meals can be served at the bar, on the beach or in the cabins, which have full kitchens and furnished outdoor spaces.
2.Unique Village
Staying in the Eleuthera area can affect your bank account.Fortunately, the island has a handful of humble and homely properties with pleasant prices, such as Unique Village. This 14-room hotel boasts the quiet beach of Poponi, which is rarely crowded despite being known for its stunning pink sands.Unique Village features a casual open-air restaurant and an outdoor pool, and its spacious air-conditioned rooms have simple, light island décor, free wireless internet and outdoor terraces, many with ocean views.
3.Compass Point Beach Resort ⭐⭐⭐
Compass Point Beach Resort may be the most interesting property on New Providence Island.The resort was opened in 1995 by legendary music producer Chris Blackwell, owner of a nearby recording studio where Bob Marley, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones set up tracks. Between studio sessions, many famous artists would crash at Compass Point Beach Resort. The resort’s appearance is as remarkable as its history: it consists of 18 rainbow-colored cabins inspired by Junkanoo, the Bahamian street parade.All rooms have surround sound systems and balconies, and some include outdoor kitchens, dining rooms and secondary rooms. Daily maid service is available for a fee, but gifts include Wi-Fi, private parking and a continental breakfast at the modern, windy restaurant with stunning ocean views and live music. Compass Point is located on the stunning Love Beach, a mile-long stretch of milky sand that’s one of the island’s most beautiful beaches.It’s a great place to dive, and its secluded location means it’s rarely crowded.
