Frommer's Highly Recommended

The beach at this resort is a major attraction. It is one of the first eco-resorts in The Bahamas and still the only hotel on undeveloped Stocking Island. Higgins Landing takes great care to preserve the natural beauty of its surroundings on this gorgeous island. It's bordered by Elizabeth Harbour and the Atlantic on one side and the crystal-blue waters of Turtle Lagoon and its colorful reefs on the other. This solar-powered hideaway bills itself as one of the great escapes of The Bahamas. Cottages are exquisitely decorated with antiques, mirrors, and Higgins family heirlooms. Accommodations are furnished with queen-size beds, and each unit is given an island accent with cool tile floors and ceiling fans, plus a well-maintained private bathroom. The landscaped grounds are as colorful as your imagination, attracting many types of wildlife, from herons and hummingbirds to green sea turtles. Hotel ferry service from George Town provides access to the island. Rates include a full breakfast and a first-rate candlelit dinner (nonguests are welcome too, with advance reservations). The open-air bar overlooks the cerulean Atlantic.
