Hideaways Exuma

We loved our little cottage, the beach bar, and the ocean. They had free kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkel masks available for use. On the downside, the fitness room equipment was in bad shape. The beach chairs weren’t particularly comfortable, and several things were broken like the basketball hoop in the pool and the beach shower. Good for a quiet couples retreat away from the crowd.

This property was nice. We stayed in the 3 bedroom villa. The rooms were clean. The entire villa was very spacious and fit my family of 7 perfectly. The only negative I have about this location is the poor service at the on site Splash restaurant. The wait staff is not pleasant AT ALL (except for the woman who had her young daughter around). They did not greet us, no pleasantries, no Thank yous, barely any eye contact at times. I know that usually when staff isn't happy, management is the culprit. Nevertheless, Exuma is a such a beautiful place and people go there to relax and unwind so not being treated well by wait staff in the only restaurant on the premises was disheartening. Also, they were out of basically everything on the menu. Anytime we sat down to place an order, the waitress started by telling us all the items they did not have. That was very frustrating. Their menu options are limited too. Very limited traditional dishes. By our third time attempting to eat there, we just got up and left and only returned there for breakfast in the mornings because it was included with our stay. The staff at the front desk was very nice. One woman went out of her way to share local restaurants for us to patronize. She even set up our cabs and everything. Belle who works on the premises was also very nice. She always stopped by to say hello and make small talk and to see if we were ok. Overall it gets 4 stars. Would have been 5 if not for the awful Splash Bar and Grill servers.
