Great Exuma inn - accommodation at quality standards
Club Peace & Plenty, an attractive, historic waterside inn is a classic island hotel in the heart of George Town. Once a sponge warehouse and later the home of a prominent family, it was converted into a hotel in the late 1940s, making it the oldest in the Exumas. The two-story pink-and-white hotel has dormers and balconies opening onto a water view. The grounds are planted with palms, crotons, and bougainvillea. Peace & Plenty fronts Elizabeth Harbour, which makes it a favorite of the yachting set, including former visitor Prince Philip. The midsize units are all tastefully furnished, although there is still a lingering 1950s vibe. A refurbishment has freshened things up a bit with bright print spreads and draperies, and furnishings in white wicker or rattan. All rooms have queen, double, or twin beds, and a tiled bathroom with a shower/tub combination. Many also contain balconies opening onto harbor views; oceanfront rooms are the most desirable. You can dine either indoors or outside, with calypso music on the terrace. There are also two cocktail lounges, one of which was converted from an old slave kitchen and is now filled with nautical gear, including lanterns, rudders, and anchors. The hotel faces Stocking Island and maintains a private beach club there, offering food and bar service, as well as kilometers of sandy dunes. A boat, free for hotel guests ($8 round-trip for nonguests), makes the run. Facilities include restaurant; 2 bars; pool; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility. Regatta Point inn lies on a small cay just across the causeway from George Town, opening onto a small sandy beach. The cay used to be known as Kidd Cay, named after the notorious pirate. Overlooking Elizabeth Harbour, the present complex consists of six apartments, each with a full kitchen, which are not air-conditioned, although the cross ventilation is good. Ceiling fans help, too. Each of the pleasantly furnished, summery units has its own kitchen and maid service, plus a small bathroom containing shower/tub combinations. The kitchens make this a good choice for families. Those who don't wish to cook can have dinner at one of the previously mentioned hotels in town, or at a local restaurant. Nearby grocery stores are fairly well stocked if you feel like cooking. Bicycles are available at no extra charge. This colony hums in April during the Family Island Regatta.
