Pink Sands Review

Harbour Island's famed beachfront resort has long been praised by celebrities—Martha Stewart, Nicole Kidman, and Brooke Shields—and honeymooners alike for its 25 private cottages scattered over 20 secluded acres. Biba designer Barbara Hulanicki updated the resort with her eclectic touches, including a cascading mother-of-pearl chandelier that dominates the lobby. The renovations have infused the main house with a sexy, South Beach-Moroccan vibe. With all the creature comforts in the way of luxurious bedding, plasma-screen TVs, and imposing native wood furniture, the newly renovated guest cottages truly feel like an island getaway in paradise. But with two tennis courts, a secluded pool, and the legendary namesake beach just steps away, will you really care? The newly expanded Blue Bar serves Bahamian-infused European cuisine until sunset and has a prime vantage point overlooking the beach.

    We walked in the hotel to request a room and the rates and no one even ackowledged that we there ! Maybe we were invisible ?? From what we could see there weren't many people there and the place really looked old and run down. So we left !

    We stayed here for a weekend and the service was somewhere between below average and indifference. The beach was amazing and the room was above average, but the poor service really put a damper on things. You spend ~ $1000/night for a room and you would think they would help somewhat in getting you to/from the resort. I would recommend the Rock House. We only had a bite and a drink there, but you could tell the service was much better. Small island so getting to the beach is no problem
