Staff was wonderful. Grounds are well-maintained and clean. Rental cars were available on-site. For those who are new to snorkeling or have kids, there's a good spot at the gut at the northern end of the property if people aren't fishing there. Snorkeling's also good at the Columbus monument's beach, a short drive north of CSMBR.
100000000/10 stars. A true tropical paradise and we felt very taken of …. we did not want to leave. Will try to go back every year. Every picture is like a postcard but still doesn’t do the property justice. Lots of great new friends and adventures.
We had a lovely four night stay in this idyllic spot. The beach is perfect - amazing white sand with lovely clear water. A real opportunity to get away from it all and a long way from the crowded tourist hotels of Nassau. Many guests return and I can understand why. Our two boys (10 and 14 years) loved it too.
This property is absolutely beautiful! Hardly anyone on the beach, very laid back. Not everything is perfect, our safe didn't work, could only lock door from inside villa, they didn't have the proper tip to inflate our floaties, but you have to remember you are in a remote area. You also have to remember you are on island time!! No one is in a hurry. We loved this place and will be back.

Exceptional setting stunning beach and super relaxing
This gem is amazingly tucked away from the world offering elite hospitality and endless activities. I am definitely visiting again, I highly recommend.
This trip was accidentally booked to Bermuda and we are visiting the Bahamas. I am still waiting to see if they will issue a refund. It's a shame that I am being penalized for an error made unknowingly. We never used their accommodations so it's pretty upsetting that I'd have to pay almost $500 for an unoccupied room.

Absolutely incredible place! The water is breathtaking. The staff is responsive and very sweet. Great food. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a relaxing gorgeous get away.
This place was a remote paradise! Great service too. Only 2 critiques: the food is just ok. The no see ums will bite you to pieces at sunrise and sunset. I hate Deet but that and coming inside are your best options.
Beautiful and pristine location with super friendly and nice staff made this a superb experience. Loved the fact that even at what seemed to be a peak season, the number of people was minimum giving at times the impression that you had the place for your family only. We will definitely return.
A hidden paradise! Best beach we’ve ever visited. Lots to do! Matt and all staff are wonderful! Also Nadia, Jasmine Stephanie and Stephanie. Food was great! Lots of fish to see on beach.
Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Meals were excellent. Wonderful excursions.
Hard to believe settings like this still exist. Beautiful beach and totally uncrowded.
