But first, don't take our word for it, check out these Rave Reviews… JR in Massachusetts writes …"My wife and I have been visiting the Caribbean (mostly resorts in the Bahamas) since 1982. Fernandez Bay Village was our last place to experience. For us, it was by far our most enjoyable Bahamas resort vacation ever. It was quiet, secluded, beautiful scenery, with one of the best beaches we've ever been on(including Treasure Cay). The Bahamas resort staff was more than friendly there was great food. The native islanders are the most pleasant people we've met. They were poor in pocket but rich in personality and spirit! "Cat" is not an upscale island with modern resorts but rather a low-key, undeveloped place...the way the Caribbean used to be. If you wish to explore, there are miles of deserted beaches, blue holes (fresh and saltwater subterranean caves), old eroding historical edifices and an incredible built- by- hand coral rock monastery at the top of the highest point in the Bahamas (200+ feet). If fishing and seafood is your thing, there are plenty of conch, lobster and fish that have never seen a lure. If you require luxury, gambling, special pampering, jet skis, golf etc., then this isn't the place! We rarely return to a site, but we are going back again this year (2000). We feel we've found our place. Southern Florida Magazine, 1998 "The few venturesome travelers who stumble on places… like Bahamas resort on Cat - the ones who do not like to be known as tourists - tend to regard such treasures as their exclusive domain, unexposed places they can return to… [it] retains the same mystique I first knew." New York Magazine, 1994 "Absolutely quiet, private; can't be beat for getting out of bed and walking across the sand into serene waters. First-rate food; occasional yoga retreats; easy for kids…" Eclectic visitors, cottages, and islanders make this remote island one of The Bahamas resort best kept secrets. It's not that hard to get to, you just have to work at it a little. Your efforts are well rewarded with a deserted, powdery white sand beach rimmed with causerina pines. Peace and solitude are the hallmark of this established nine-villa Bahamas resort. Each beach house is unique, some wood, some stone, some with kitchens, garden baths, all with ceiling fans. You have yards of beach with gently lapping waves all to yourself. Fernandez Bay Bahamas resort lies on the leeward side of Cat Island, about midway in its long, skinny 45-mile length. Catt, a pirate who plied its clear waters is the island's namesake. Maintaining the just-settled 17th century quality Bahamas resort, villages still known as settlements, dot the quiet coastline. The Armbrister family has owned a large portion of Bahamas resort Cat Island since an eighteenth century English monarch deeded this far-off land to their ancestors. Operating this sleepy Bahamas resort for over 20 years, Mrs. A, as she is affectionately known, revels in her role as hostess, divulging tidbits of information and history on The Bahamas and Cat Island in particular. Her son, Tony and a small, friendly Bahamas resort staff assist in the operation of Fernandez Bay, including charter air service from Nassau to the adjacent airstrip. Strolling barefoot down the Bahamas resort beach at sunset, guests gather for drinks and dinner at dusk each evening. A great chance to mingle with other fortunate souls who hang out on Cat. The beach bar runs on the honor system, you make yourself a drink and write the tab. "Bahamian scrumptious" best describes the cuisine as able and creative local chefs spoil you with lobster, grilled seafood, steaks, chicken, and local vegetables to satisfy the most hardy appetite. Provisions from the resort's general store are available to fix your own breakfast and lunches, or you can savor home-cooked meals in the library-turned-cafe. The biggest decision every day at this Bahamas resort is whether to bike the 4 miles to Mt. Alvernia, highest point in The Bahamas at 206 feet to visit The Hermitage, snorkel and swim in front of your cottage, take a sunfish sail, join the dive staff in an excursion to Cat Island's shipwrecks and coral reefs, or laze in the hammock and read a book. Nightlife is what you make it. Visiting sailors, many repeat guests, and newcomers enliven the dinner conversation and evening bonfire. Couples and families alike love the Bahamas resort. Children are welcome, babysitters available, and the villas are quiet and private along the half-moon bay. Fernandez Bay Village proves the perfect choice to indulge yourself, languishing in the Bahamas Out Islands' solitude and relaxed atmosphere.
