Fodor's Expert Review Hope Town Harbour Lodge
Elbow Cay, Great Abaco Island, Bahamas Fodor's Choice
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This casually classy resort offers spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beach, quality amenities, and is just steps away from the beach, the quaint town and the harbor. Pleasant rooms are decorated island-style, but for a splurge, treat yourself to one of the ocean-view or oceanfront cottages, with light pine paneling, terra-cotta tile floors, full kitchenettes, and French doors opening onto private decks. Breakfast and lunch are poolside, with views of the ocean. Dinner is served in the Great Harbour Room, with views of the harbor. Book early as reservations are essential for both the restaurant and the lodge. Discounted rates are available September 5 to October 31.
PROS
- best spot in Elbow Cay for views, beach, and access to town
- on-site restaurant overlooks the ocean
- romantic
CONS
- rooms are small
- entire property in need of upgrades scheduled for 2020
- noise from pool and bar can disturb poolside and oceanfront cottages
