AWESOME!!! We love this this place. Coming back for our 4th time in November. The staff is amazing. Splash bar always takes care of us. Jolly Hall is just around the corner and we love that beach. Love the fact that we can walk to Fish Fry. Always stop at Smitty's on our way from the airport.

So much to say! Hideaways in Exuma is amazing. Water activities at your fingertips, Kayaks,paddleboards,floaties and pedal boats. It's an absolute slice of Paradise. The staff makes everyone feel so welcome. Suggest getting a beach or pool bungalow. Clean and well organized with a great restaurant on property. If you want to head out there is a shuttle that runs at certain hours. There is also great cab service that can be arranged by front desk. White sandy Beach, beautiful pool at the resort complete with very comfy chairs. Special thanks to Annette, Candy and Keith for making our stay amazing. The entire staff is there for your experience. Go swim with the pigs and have a local Conch salad. The whole staff wakes with a smile on their face and certainly guides your day. Marva the massage therapist also amazing. Hideaways is the way to go, indulge and enjoy!…

A lot to digest? Read a summary of these reviews, created with our new AI-powered tool.
This place absolutely exceeded our expectations from the location to the comfort of the rooms and especially the Check-in/pool staff and Splash restaurant. The front desk, pool and shuttle service was wonderful and all their staff is super friendly and helpful. Do note, staffing in any Exuma ALL restaurants is limited and The Splash bar is very popular so wait times for food are long and they sell out of food on Sundays/Mondays between deliveries - it's a small island, not a big city.

We booked a 2 bed/2 bath villa to stay in. These are not beachfront (which I didn't realize or remember from booking) but they are up a slight hill and have a great view. This was our first trip to Exuma so I have nothing else to compare to on the island, but our place was perfectly suitable for our family. The on-site restaurant (Splash) had complimentary breakfast for the stay that we booked and we ate dinner there several times. Some nights were very busy and others there were hardly any tables filled. My kids (5 and 8) used the pool a little and we spent time on the beach every day. Check-in was efficient and the front desk staff was all very friendly throughout our stay. We did not use the shuttle to George Town since we rented a car, but that seemed like a great option. Most of the people there seemed to be retirees or couples traveling without children- we did not see many other families with younger children but it also could have been the time of year that we were there. The entire area never felt unsafe for us. George Town is about 8 minutes away. The grocery store prices there were shocking coming from the US (in addition to the 10% tax on food) just as FYI. We got snacks, drinks, and a frozen meal to cook in one night since we had a kitchen.…

Easy check in, very sweet receptionist. We stayed at a villa across the street. Very nice. Pool area was great, clean and enough chairs. Restaurant on sight, Splash had good food, a little slow service but it's island time. All in all great spot.

We had a great experience in the Exumas during our stay at #34 Exuma Sol. The Hideaways is a nice little resort right on beautiful Palm Beach with just a few minute walk to another beautiful beach at Jolly Bay. The owners, Mike & Karilynn, of Exuma Sol were wonderful from the start and sent us so much helpful information prior to our trip. They even set us up with a transport from the airport that stopped on the way so that we could pick up groceries. The cottage is beautifully supplied with everything we needed during out stay. The location is the BEST right off the beach overlooking the water. We will 100% stay at this resort booked in Exuma Sol ion our next trip!

First they gave us the wrong room and then charged for upgrade. The accommodations were bad a small bed with a terrible mattress. The wifi was very spotty. The service at the restaurant was poor.The shuttle service was a joke. I would never stay there again!

Response from Beverly Brittain, Owner at Hideaways Exuma
Responded Feb 8, 2024
Thank you for writing a review. We want to clarify this issue where this guest mentioned they were given the wrong room. This guest made his reservation through a 3rd party, guests that choose to book through a 3rd party (Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, etc.) choose their own room category. We receive from the 3rd party the category they choose. This guest chose a category with 1 king bed clearly marked as Hillside 1 Bedroom Villa with Garden View - 1 King Bed but arrived with 2 single guests needing 2 beds. The only accommodation that we had available with multiple beds was an upgrade to the Beachside. We offered a discounted upgrade for these guests to help. Your best bet is to book directly with Hideaways or email us if you have any questions or need to clarify anything. As far as the restaurant service & and the shuttle service, we feel that you are just upset with the fact that you reserved the wrong accommodations. Our restaurant is open daily from 8:00 am - 9:00 pm serving breakfast, lunch & dinner open to the public. Our shuttle is COMPLIMENTARY (Free) and runs every day to and from Georgetown beginning at 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. That's no joke! We work very hard to make sure our guests enjoy their visit with us. We are sorry that you were upset with your stay but hope that you will visit us again next time you travel to Great Exuma.

We recently spent 5 nights at Hideaways Exuma. PROS: Our cottage (#9) was cute, clean, and nicely decorated. While the "Ocean View" was somewhat broken up by one of the pool decks, it was easy to grab our coffee or drinks and sit there instead to enjoy the view. Pretty outlook to Stocking Island. Staff keep the beach clean, though adjoining beaches are somewhat littered. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Ample availability of kayaks and paddle boards. MIXED: Parking was a little tight. Restaurant was pricey (very busy in the evenings) and we felt a little gouged when staff prodded us for tips even though 15% gratuity is added to the bill. Quality of meals was inconsistent. Having said that, food everywhere in the Exumas is pricey and the selection at the Splash Bar is better than most. It would be nice if staff routinely restocked our room with coffee every day instead of us having to ask.…

This resort is well worth the time and money. We booked almost a year in advance and Bev the others at info@hideawayspalmbay.com were more then patient answering all our many questions. The reception staff are amazing and any issue we had they were at my room fixing it even before i got there. I think the easiest is to do pro con. Pro 1) Staff are outstanding. 2) The Beach is magic. Snorkeling is crazy cool just to the left of the pool area. 3) The Splash Bar and Grill have incredible food and drinks. Have to try the Bahama Mama. 4) The two bedroom hillside room is huge. It was our groups meeting place for supper. 5) The breakfast that comes with the booking is very good. Con 1) Wish there was an all inclusive option and would be will to pay more. 2) Would like to see shuttle service from and to the air port. To say getting a cab is a little stressful is an understatement as they are pretty unreliable but add in a time factor to catch a plane makes it even more stressful. We had good and bad and luckily for us the one to the air port to leave was good. Things to do. 1) Chill and Chatt 2) Starfish Beac 3) swim with the pigs 4) iguana Island 5) Jolly Beach (3 min from our main beach by foot. Thanks to all the Hideaways for making our stay memorable.…

We enjoyed the flexibility of having a kitchenette in a country where eating out can be so expensive. The continental breakfast was great. The resort is on a gorgeous beach, the front desk staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The resort is well set up - they can give recommendations re airport pickup or car rental; buy groceries ahead if you wish; and there is a frequent shuttle to Georgetown such that it is possible to get away without renting a car. There is a convenient walking distance to the Fish Fry (I strongly recommend Shirley's).
