Tail Winds is ideally situated right next to a smooth stretch of beach on the northwest point of Cat Island. At this end of the island, there are only two resorts (Tail Winds and Shanna's Cove) and the rest are private houses which are only occupied a few weeks out of the year. Tail Winds has only four bungalows currently.... More

This place was fantastic! The beauty of the water and beach made it a perfect vacation destination. Rich, Altamese and the staff were more than accommodating. Food was excellent and drink was plenty. We searched hundreds of locations in which to spend our honeymoon and could not have picked a better place. We met new freinds from all over the... More

We just returned last night from our best vacation yet. I surprised my husband for his 40th birthday and it was the perfect gift to both of us. Rich and Altimese made a chocolate cake and bought a bottle of champagne to celebrate the occassion. The beauty of the resort has been described in detail before and it is all... More

So let me just start by saying (in response to some of the previous reviews) that if you find yourself easily offended by colourful language, you may be off-put by some of the discussions with the resort's owner, Rich, who is a New Yorker with some strong views on a variety of topics (for example, big government). This being said:... More

My boyfriend and I actually had a cruise planned, but it got ruined by my mom's flaky travel agent. I am glad it did! Had it not, we wouldn't have found this beautiful paradise...as soon anyway. It was important to me that we did not go somewhere overdeveloped and commercialized. It was apparent as the plane landed at the Arthur's... More

Firstly, the rooms are beautiful. King size bed (which was a "wiggly" one), kitchenette, large screen tv with all channels, fireplace, outdoor shower, clean and lovely. We were treated very nicely, although it was very different from the european feel of next door Shanna's Cove Resort which we loved. The main issue which I foresaw might come into play for... More

This was our first visit to Cat Island and I would say this was the best vacation by far that we have been on! Tailwinds offers seclusion, serenity, adventure, and a feeling that you can feel comfortable to do whatever you please. Included with your stay you get snorkeling, biking, kayaking, and the most amazing beach you've ever seen. Richard... More
