Bluff House Beach Hotel Review

Bluff House Beach Hotel 
$$-$$$, Green Turtle Cay
Fodor's Review:
From its perch on a rocky bluff overlooking White Sound, this romantic hilltop hideaway provides sweeping views of the sheltered harbor or the Sea of Abaco. Established in 1954 by wealthy Americans who loved to entertain, this elegant resort has grown and improved with age. Formal dinners are still served by reservation only in the dining room ($$$) adjoining the open-air, natural pine cocktail lounge and library. (It's only open during the main season, which starts in March.) The split-level suites have tropical-style wicker furniture, parquet-inlay floors, and double doors opening onto balconies with sensational ocean vistas. Even more spacious are the two- and three-bedroom villas, with huge screened-in verandas overlooking the marina. Or go for the ultimate decadence with the three-bedroom Yachtsman's Cottage, which is ideal for families or couples traveling together.

Paradise is nice, but not perfect

We have been to Green Turtle Cay three times and have twice stayed at the Bluff House. They get an A for effort, but on our last visit they seemed to be in a bit of transition with another new manager who was not as accomodating and never made the effort to say hello. For such a small place, with only 12 guests the week we were there, you would imagine he would. The formal dining room was closed the entire week which was a dissapointment. Other than that, the staff tried hard to please, and nicely covered up for the shortcomings which one better expect on an out island vacation. The island, and surrounding area is beautiful and worth the long trip. The place does need a bit of updating and we hope to visit again to see that the plans for updgrades have been met.My own little Island
