Bahamas all-inclusive resorts?

We did Staniel Cay Yacht Club a few years ago. One of the best vacations we have ever had. It's just small so if you are looking to have Sandels ammenities / mingle with lots of people it's not for you. Breakfast each morning we told them to pack a lunch / beer for us. They packed it in ice chest that we took out on our boat each day (boat included with room). Thunderball Grotto, pig beach, iguana beach plus lots of isolated beaches close and easily boated to.

Anyone experience and all-inclusive in the Bahamas?

We go to one every year. But, it's probably not the type of all-inclusive this board likes. It is a small resort/lodge on Andros, called Small Hope Bay lodge.

It only has 14 cabins total -- all right on the beach. It is eco-friendly, meaning, solar hot water, very rustic and low footprint on the environment. It is the polar opposite of Atlantis. When we get there, our first thing to do is put our shoes outside our cabin door. We typically won't wear shoes again until right before we leave for the airport to go home.

It truly highlights the best of the Bahamas -- pristine clear waters, beautiful beaches void of crowds, friendliest of friendly people, and fantastic food.

There are two bars - one inside, used when it rains. The main bar is outside, right on the water. It is self-serve during the day, usually a couple of bar tenders in the evening. But truly, you will have other guests make you a drink (and you'll probably make drinks for them) as often as a bar tender. All wifi/internet access is cut off daily from 6-9 pm, this is to encourage complete unplug and enjoy happy hour and dinner. You will make new friends, be it guests or staff.

The dive staff, fishing guides, maids, kitchen staff are all top-notch. The owner will either have dinner or lunch with you at some point in your stay. He's a good guy with tons of stories.

Anyway, it is most definitely NOT for everyone. But for people wanting to truly unwind and enjoy their trip to the real Bahamas, it is perfect.

Both sound nice. Any other suggestions?
