Imagine being in a natural wilderness and sleeping on ironed sheets. You will never get closer to nature in an unspoiled setting with so many amenities. With the chance to see the seemingly never ending Lighthouse Beach, one of the true wonders of the world, but return to a perfectly made cocktail and just plain lovely people, this is a well kept secret. Would be great fun to go with several friends and have townhouses next to each other where you can grill fish or walk over to the marina restaurant and home again under a vault of stars. Also a romantic hideaway if you are on your own. If you love being off the beaten path and the idea of a casino high rise beach resort is an anathema to you, this hidden oasis is the real thing. Also really great for a business meeting or board retreat, which we did, and the staff did a stupendous job organizing, welcoming, entertaining, and feeding and watering us.

Spent a few nights at the resort, on short trip with my father. Made it there on the first day just as the sun was setting, it was absolutely gorgeous! The accommodation’s are very luxurious, far nicer than anything I have stayed at in the Mexican Riviera or the Caribbean. It felt very much like a very expensive luxury condominium in Hawaii but far more remote. This is definitely a place you want to go if you are tired of being around tourists and treated like a tourist. Unfortunately I didn't have time to go fishing or diving, just a 2hr boat b ride but that was more than enough to convince me to come back and spend more time here. I really wanted to swim from the dock but the big bull sharks reluctantly kept me out of the water. I did get a little swimming done on the beaches though.

The staff is very friendly and the beer is very cold! I highly recommend this place to anyone tired of hitting all of the tourist hot spots. If I had a sport fisher on the east coast I would hit this place for sure. The marina and slips are top notch and the harbor master is a laid back fisherman who is very skilled at what he does and will go above and beyond to make sure you get what you need.

There is only one restaurant at the resort while we were there. In my opinion the sea food should have been much better, considering there are local fishermen catching fish all day in the nearby harbor. From what we were told by other visitors, if you bring fresh caught fish to be cooked it is fantastic. Unfortunately our schedule did not allow for fishing. the chicken is great and the chicken wings are some of the best I have ever eaten. Did I mention the beer was cold and delicious?

I will definitely be back for hopefully a bit longer and try to get some blue water fishing and some diving in.

Just returned from 5 day trip to Cape Eleuthera on the southernmost tip of Eleuthera. Lovely stay in beautiful 2 bedroom two story condo with magnificent sunset views! If you want to dive, fish, or explore beautiful beaches, this spot is heavenly. Lighthouse beach, a 45 min. drive, is one of the most beautiful anywhere! Note, stock up on groceries in Rock Sound on your way to Cape Eleuthera, as there is one restaurant & breakfast on your private balcony is sublime.

13 of us from Orlando stayed at the resort in December, 2011, 11 divers and 2 non-divers. It was an incredible experience from start to finish. The resort was fabulous, rooms were luxurious and the food was delicious. I have only one comment that could be negative or positive and that is that the wi-fi was down, personally I found that exciting because that truly meant I was on vacation, others were disturbed by that, but it came back after a day and a half w/out.
This is the trip report I posted for my Divestore. It's accurate and says it all.
Eleuthera Trip report:
Everyone arrived together, safely with all their luggage, :-), in anticipation of 3 days of diving excitement off the walls of Eleuthera. We arrived to the Cape Eleuthera Marina and Resort just in time to see a couple of fisherman cleaning their catch off the dock. They were suddenly surrounded by at least 5 huge hungry nurse sharks and the 2 resident Bull sharks. Needless to say, there was no swimming in the marina. Neal Watson greeted us with a dive briefing and a little information on the island and things to do.
The food at the resort was INCREDIBLE to say the least. All meals were cooked to perfection, desserts were baked fresh every day. Nell is out of this world with her flavorful dishes. The best part of the resort experience was the all inclusive package. Totally worth the expense.
Our first day of diving, Neal Watson Jr. took us to Cut-thru drop off, a 200+ft wall drop in beautiful pristine 150ft plus vis, and 78 degree waters, followed by a shallow reef all teeming with something new to see. Throughout the 3 days of diving of walls and reefs, sights included Barracudas, sleeping and awake Reef Sharks, large Grouper, King and Spanish Mackerel, yellow tail Snappers, lettuce leaf nudibranchs, lots of juveniles, so many other species, too much to name, also quite a few swim-thrus and lots of pinnacles with pretty corals. One of the dives took us to a sunken drug smugglers plane, definitely good for a picture or 2. We didn't get to see the Cobia harvesting due to the seas picking up on our last day, but that, from what I understand is a must see.
The afternoons were on our own to discover parts of the island, while some of us grabbed a hammock, a book, and a rum drink and sat on the leeward beach, others grabbed the complimentary bikes and toured the island, or just took long walks on the 2 beaches at the resort. Our last day, Neal and Steve, our Dive Leaders for the week, took us in their personal vehicles all over the island to do the “Bahamian Experience”. We all tried the famous Conch Salad at Coco Plums, made right there after they showed us how to clean the conch. Neal and Steve, as well as the resort staff, truly provided a great customer experience. Everyone had a great time! With 13 in tow, you imagine one would make something derogatory comment, but not a one, exception of the wi-fi being down, but that was nothing a Rum Punch wouldn't take care of. :-).
One of the most fascinating places to visit while in Eleuthera is The Island School. Especially if you have teenage children that are interested in the Marine world, check out this site.
If you get a chance, fit that into your visit.
I know I will definitely be back as this was a great deal for the price and it's so close to home for us.
