We researched far and wide for a great three-night Carribean getaway without the kids and the cold weather only to discover Higgins Landing.
It was everything we had hoped for! The Hotel is located on Stocking Island, just off Great Exuma, with no roads or cars to hamper your island experience and no shoes necessary. We grabbed snorkel gear and swam right off the hotel beach to see beautiful coral and fish all around. We walked the circumference of the island on baby soft sand collecting shells and starfish, watching tranquil turquoise waters and beautiful boats on one side of the island and crashing waves on the other. Who knew there were so many shades of blue? Kayaking, hiking, hanging out down the beach at chat n' chill, it was all wonderful. The perfect combination of plenty to do and nothing to do all at once. And every day ended with a cocktails at the beach bar and a fabulous gourmet dinner! The rooms are lovely, the whole place is laid out beautifully (and we loved the eco-aspects of the hotel), the owners are gracious and accomodating, happy to make recommendations but make sure you have privacy. Oh, and did I mention the shooting stars we saw from our deck each night? If you want to really get away from it all, this is the place. My only regret is we couldn't stay longer.
