Your Hotel on Long Island for your vacation in the Bahamas could be the Stella Maris Resort Club, and there are reasons why it could be just right for you and your partner, or you and your family. It is part of a 2000 acre Estate of 100 or so private residences which are all well spread out forming a very quiet and natural settlement.
Stella Maris Resort Club is a small hotel with just 32 rooms, apartments, cottages, villas and bungalows. They are all attractively designed in Bahamian style, with some of them villas and bungalows very luxurious indeed, and some with their own private pool. They are all close to, or right on the beach scattered throughout a magnificent palm grove. All the rooms have air conditioning, with ocean view patios or balconies, and are equipped with a fridge, coffee maker, ceiling fan, and hair dryer.
There are three hotel pools and seven hidden Atlantic beach coves to explore, and an unspoiled island which is very tranquil, very safe with around thirty villages and towns, hardly touched by modern tourism. There is lots to do and see on Long island, and bicycles to take you throughout the estate, and car hire for the rest. The island itself has beautiful nature walks, lovely views, plantation ruins, Indian caves, and beach after beach after beach of white sand and turquoise water to enjoy. The island is so different from one side to the other that you could spend a whole two weeks cycling and walking and never get bored at all.
The Stella Maris Resort Hotel on Long Island will really give you the perfect Bahamas vacation. Starting with the helpful staff who are just like old family retainers, and they just make you feel so good all the time. The atmosphere created is one of complete security and safety there aren't even keys for the apartments and houses, and this won't worry you after the first five minutes, because the whole place has such a good feel to it. If security of valuables worries you, there is a safe at the front desk. There are no TV's or telephones which is great for the stressed executive!!
One of the really outstanding features of the Stella Maris Resort Club is the personal involvement of the owners. The will be totally visible, whether at mealtimes to check everything is OK to helping planning an activity, whether it be by car or bike. Their level of hospitality rises far above the norm even in supposedly well known top flight resorts. When you consider the owners are retired and it is their very capable families who are now responsible for running the resort, gives you an idea of the commitment.
It therefore will come as no surprise to know that the level of service is uniformly good from all the staff. The food in the restaurant is excellent, and quite international and diverse, with the ?specials? changing every night. Dinner is as a set time, the platefuls are enormous, and be warned the drinks are powerful indeed, they certainly don't skimp in any way at all.
One of the best things about Stella Maris Resort Club is the lack of man made facilities such as pubs, retaurants etc. You can find them, but surely the great joy of Long Island is the unspoilt and beautiful nature of the place. That is what makes the Stella Maris Resort Club the perfect spot for a vacation in the Bahamas. That and the quality of accommodation and service. Go for it.

Hotels On Paradise Island Bahamas
A Bahamas Beach Resort right on the north end of Long Island called the Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort could be the perfect place to spend a Bahamas Vacation. If you can stay in one of the Beachfront Villas, then for goodness sake try to afford it. They are top end quality with accommodation stretching to over 1800 square feet, with stunning uninterrupted views, overlooking the three mile long beach.
You will find an enclosed porch, a huge living room/dining room/kitchen area. There are two separate bathrooms, one with a Jacuzzi. They are well kitted out with TV and DVD player, wireless internet access, though why anyone would want that on vacation, and a washer/dryer. All in all beautifully designed and appointed, which reflects the elegant and relaxed style of the Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort.
The villas are part of the Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort, but can also be purchased as well as rented.
They are positioned at the south end of the resort but only a short walk from the bar and restaurant.
The beach here is about the best the Bahamas has to offer, in fact it has been described as one of the best beaches in the world, and that is saying something, which makes it the perfect Bahamas Vacation destination. The water even in mid winter is warm, and the colours are a staggering mix of turquoise, blue and green. The soft white sand beach is just perfect to stroll along, and at the north end is a well protected cove, and the southern end is a reef and rock area where you can snorkel to your hearts content.
Whilst you can cook in your kitchen area, the restaurant at Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort is very good and there is lots of it. The menu offers something for everyone. The cuisine is a touch of Caribbean flair, with great flavours, and utterly fresh.
By Bahamas standards the food is relatively inexpensive, and with the dollar sterling euro exchange rate at the time of writing, which is March 2008 almost a bargain for Europeans. The main problem about self catering in the kitchen is the fact you'll have to hire a car, and drive a fair distance for provisions. You should just enjoy the restaurant at this fine Bahamas resort, and take a work free vacation instead of having to cook.
The staff at a resort are very much what can make the difference to a vacation. You can have the best beach, beautiful weather, great food, good accommodation, and have it ruined by poor attitude from the staff. Here at Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort the staff are very professional, and very attentive and just add to the Bahamas vacation experience.
Many reports indicate that guests have rated the Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort as not only their best vacation in the Bahamas, but their best vacation ever anywhere, which is some praise indeed.
To conclude, Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort is a great place for a Bahamas vacation, especially if you are happy with a wonderful beach, and don't want the hassle of leaving the resort, because everything on Long Island is a drive away. If you are happy to walk on the beach, swim, take out a hobie cat, snorkel, take a massage, and eat and drink, then this will be ideal.
