Its great variety of accommodations suits families of all sizes, from two-bed oceanview rooms, to cottages for up to six and even a three-bedroom penthouse. The kids, however, will be spending most of their time outside, where the beach is right there with a playground on it, and the pool and pool games are the center of attention around the restaurant and shop area.

One of the most progressive kids’ programs in the islands, the Bahamas Buddies Programs introduces young guests to native children, who teach them about local customs and food. With its own marina, the resort offers families kayaks, paddleboards, boat rentals and tours and dive shop services. It earns final high marks from its walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Marsh Harbour.
