The Abacos Hotels

Intimate hotels, cottage-style resorts, and rental homes are the rule in the Abacos. There are a few full-scale resorts in Marsh Harbour, Treasure Cay, Green Turtle Cay, and Hope Town—with multiple restaurants, bars, pools, and activities—but most accommodations are more homey. What you might give up in modern amenities you'll gain in privacy and beauty. Many hotels have water views, and with a cottage or private house you may even get your own stretch of beach. Air-conditioning is a standard feature, and more places are adding luxuries like satellite TV and wireless Internet. Small and remote doesn't equate with inexpensive, however; it's difficult to find lodging for less than $100 a night and not uncommon to pay more than $300 a night for beachside accommodations with all the conveniences. Still, the Abacos remains affordable when compared to other islands.
