Snooty, impatient travelers: please choose elsewhere. This island has the most relaxed vibe and friendly people, with some of the most gorgeous beaches and views you could hope for. The Bluff House Resort has everything in one place. Our room was beautiful and clean, with a deck overlocking the Abaco Sea. We watched the spectacular sunsets every evening from there. A short walk away was our favorite parking spot for the day: The Tranquil Turtle. It has a great bar with lunch and drinks next to the best beach on the island. The water is clear and usually calm with snorkeling not far off the beach and there is volleyball and other activities mixed with hammocks and longe chairs. We ate breakfast and lunch at The Boathouse, also a short walk or golf cart ride away. The staff rotates between the Boathouse and Tranquil Turtle, so you see the same faces and they start recognizing you quickly. Such a sweet and friendly group!

There are other great restaurants and beach bars. We had a great time exploring the island. Cocoa Bay is an excellent shallow, clear water beach where you can wade to the dock end and feed turtles and rays. There are pigs and chickens you can feed along the roads too. Despite other offerings on the island, we seemed to always prefer everything the Bluff House offered.

Lastly, what I hope that people visiting will understand is that this is a small island. They will run out of things and it takes longer on any island for anything. Before you go, read about Green Turtle Cay. The loss there during Hurricane Dorian was horrific. Talk to the people there who lost everything in the hurricane and rebuilt the whole island (and are still rebuilding). They are a unique team that work together to build a great community. So, put on a smile and relax… enjoy the people, scenery, and be thankful…it gets no better than this. We will be back as soon as possible!

Sorry to say that Bluff House is, in my opinion, simply too expensive for the service provided. Dilapidated and broken furniture, poor wifi and so-so air conditioning.
Don’t get me wrong the place has a beautiful location, great staff and a lovely ambiance but it needs work.

We love this place! The ocean view couldn’t be better. In our picture it almost looks like it isn’t real, but it is real! The drinks and food are great. We stop in for lunch every time we’re in The Abacos. See ya again soon!
