My Wife and I enjoyed our 2 week stay at the Abaco Beach Resort and Boat Harbour from May 20th to May 30th/2007.
We did have a little glitch in checking in on Sunday May 20th as we had prepaid the Hotel and the MAP Plan and the front desk did not seem to have this info.
All was sorted out quickly to our relief.
As far as the accomodation was concerned loved it,beautiful clean room and wonderful view,Housekeeping staff very good.Anglers Restaurant where we has breakfast and Supper was very good.Staff friendly with good humour,interested in the guests especially the Supper staff.We both enjoyed the meals and variety of the menu,thank you Chef.
Main swimming pool seemed crowded but the pool was kept in great shape .There was a secondary quiet pool but I never saw anyone in it.,did not seem to be kept up as well.At the main pool there is a bar where people could order food,noticed the staff were a little tardy on cleaning up tables around the pool however many of the patrons just left there half eaten meals everywhere so in some instances cannot blame the staff.
During our stay there were fishing tournaments going on and the boat harbour was certainly alive with activity.
The grounds were pretty clean in May but did notice more trash especially styrofoam food containers but clean up seemed to be pretty quick.
All in All we enjoyed our trip and would go back and stay at this resort again.

This is the first place I have stayed in the outer islands and was concerned that a place that looked very beautiful on their website only rated 3 stars. When we frist checked in a got to our room I was amazed at how nice the room was. Definately a 4 star room. However after that I came to realize why the 3 star rating. The grounds weren't kept up very well, for example the trash that was in the grass below our room was there our entire stay. Where the web site said they had an on-site tennis pro, once there I found there was no program at all. They ran out of beach towels when to me it didn't seem that crowded. The internet only worked in the hotel lobby which was a quarter mile walk from our room. All in all a nice stay and a nice place which could probably be world class under better management. When you factor in the pretty high cost I'm not sure I would come back.

I had my May 2007 wedding at the Abaco Beach Resort. It was fabulous! The resort was very nice, they had some construction going on the other end of the resort but we didn't hear any noise. The only glitch was they gave my parents the keys to a suite when they had booked a standard room and then 15 min. after we got to the room they called and moved them into a MUCH smaller room. My parents wanted the bigger room and offered to pay the difference but they said it was booked. The wedding was excellent, there was no one on the beach and Latina did an amazing job coordinating it all! There was a fishing tournament the week of our wedding but it was fun looking at all the huge boats in the harbor and watching them bring in the big fish! They caught a 550 pound marlin while we were there. Big rooms, clean, all with beautiful views. Great time and would recomend anyone thinking of a destination wedding!

Just came back from a great weekend at the Abaco Beach Resort. I have read some of the other reviews and hope to put this resort into perspective. First, if you have not traveled to the out islands of the Bahamas there are a few things that you need to be aware of. Everything is very expensive due to the fact that everything has to be either ferried or flown in to these out islands. Second, the high humidity here year round causes some people to think that the a/c is not working correctly. Finally, the out islands exist on tourism. Most of the locals will go out of their way to help you, as you are thier livelihood, however the locals all seem to work on island time. It is unrealistic to expect a New York City like schedule while in the out islands.

As far as the resort, my wife and I had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent and everyone there did a great job. Our room was one of the largest that I have experienced in the out islands and had the most amenities that I have experienced at any out island resort. We had imported european soaps and body gels, a coffee maker, a refrigerator, and even a dehumidifier in the room. The bathroom had been completely renovated with luxuries including a granite counter and sink area. Each evening we received a turndown service with mints as well. The only complaint was that the beach was not quite as nice as I had expected as appeared man made. This resort is primarily a marina/boating resort and the pools and dock area were beautiful.

The food at the resort was good, but we found that the best food locally was at Wally's Restaurant (on the main street in Marsh Harbour), but you need to make reservations for dinner.

All in all, this is a great place to spend some time getting away from it all. We plan on returning!
