“Have to get back to Sampson Cay Club”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2011

While in the Exumas on a cruise on my sailboat, we developed some mechanical problems, and needed a place to hold over while we waited for parts from the states. Because we were close to it, and because their marina is so well protected from any inclement weather, we chose Sampson Cay. Wow. What an experience. An absolutely beautiful island, with even nicer beaches. Clean, well kept grounds, clear waters, white sand, lots of fish. The marina was top notch and all the dock hands were friendly, courteous, and anxious to help with anything we needed, including helping us move the boat. There was a 'good morning' or 'hello' from the staff whenever you ran into them. The dockmaster found time every day to stop by and make sure we were doing OK and would ask if we needed anything. From what I understand, they have a new chef at the restaurant, and he really put out some great food. When we would run into the manager and his wife we were always greeted with a smile and asked again if we needed anything. While cruising the Exumas, I usually anchor out. I always have. But you can bet the next time I'm near Sampson Cay Club we'll make arrangements to stay there. It was just great.

“Incredibly rude manager”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2011

We have stayed at this marina on our boat a number of times and have had generally good things to say about it. However on this stay there was a particularly loud party at the bar that went on past 1am, including numerous members of the staff, making it impossible to sleep unless you closed all hatches. After the bar finally closed the party moved to one of the boats. At 3am they finally listened to other boaters' complaints and went to sleep. A number of us went to the manager to complain. He (Mike) was rude and totally unsympathetic, basically saying "if you don't like it leave." I would note that the marina rules call for "quiet enjoyment" after 9:30pm.

If you are here when there is no loud party going on, it is physically a nice place. If you like loud parties, you'll be happy. If you believe that people should show consideration for one another and lower the volume as it gets later, you might want to consider another location. Finally, if you believe people in the hospitality industry should be courteous and make an effort to deal with their guests' issues constructively, go somewhere else!

“What a Christmas it was....”

We stayed in the Tower and all I can say is what a view from the bed. It was the most wonderful time I have ever had.....The boats in the marina on Christmas Eve with their lights made it all absolutely wonderful.

My wife and I were guests at Sampson Cay Club, and have never before, received the wonderful care and attention given by their personnel. We were recommended to them by business associates, they were right, on all accounts. The restaurant was above the 4 star we were told. SCC recently brought in a new Chef, my belief is that this young man will become a World renowned Chef, in a very short time. We were always treated with the highest respect, but it was never sugar coated. This is a well oiled machine, operating on part Bahamian and part East Coast time. Thanks to our host and hostess, Mike & Cathy Piazza, and a Special Thanks to Laticia and Rock.
