Fodor's Expert Review Dolphin Beach Resort

Great Guana Cay, Great Abaco Island, Bahamas Fodor's Choice

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

You'll be tempted to stay forever at this upscale island haven. Spacious, uniquely designed rooms and larger cottages—handcrafted of Abaco pine by Guana Cay shipwrights—are all painted in bright Junkanoo colors. Each island-style cottage is individually furnished and includes a private deck or terrace. Two cottages are set away from the resort, ideal for honeymooners. Outside, secluded showers are surrounded by bougainvillea and sea grape trees. Boardwalk nature trails winding through the carefully tended 15-acre property lead to miles of secluded beach. Prime fishing, diving, and snorkeling are nearby, and guided tours can be arranged by the accommodating resort staff.
