Chat n Chill on Sundays is the pig roast.

I stayed at a place called Master Harbour Villas. It is outside of town and pretty secluded. Might be more fun to stay closer to town, but I will put the info at the bottom.

Watch out for the Rum Punch! I lost a day of my life after a few of those. Most of the natives wake up to hair of the dog there, so needless to say they mix a little stronger there.

I had some incredible meals at a place called Cheaters that is a few miles south of George Town. They never have more than two items on the menu at once, one is usually cracked conch, and the other was always sheep guts or something. Didn't try the latter, but the conch was amazing. They catch it and crack it open right in front of the restaurant.

Beautiful place can't wait to go back!

If you stay at the P&P in town, they include a day or two of boat rental for each weeks stay. We hooked up with some other guests who had three rooms for a week and they parlayed a boat for the whole week. They were gracious enough to invite us along. Two of their party had been coming down there for 20+ years and knew many unique spots that were only accessible by boat. Bring the beer (as well as a cooler) in with you as it's not particularly cheap. There is a meal plan available at the P&P. My copilot had lobster every night.

If you rent a boat, inspect it carefully. We had an overheating motor one day and a loose throttle linkage another. If you have a problem, speak wiht the marina owners in the office, not the dock dudes. Bring a good book or two and SPF80.

If the pax want to leave from another island, make sure that it is a POE. Other wise you will have to return to Exuma or Nassau to clear outbound.

For excitement, you can drive down to the DEA heliport ond take pictures of the black helicopters. Only the Feds would think that black is the perfect camoflage against the South Atlantic and the Bahamian shoals. I think that they believe that it makes them invisible.

Emailing from the terminal in the office at Peace and Plenty now (the one in town).
It's everything represented above. Kalik (happen to be holding one now) is $4.00, mixed drinks are about $6.00.
Everyone is very nice here, espeially the locals. We used Strachens and were taken care of very well at the airport. Basicially he (the old man)directed everyone to the air conditioned customs office. Cab fare to the hotel was $25.00.
Nice place but I'd pony up for the $325 for the Four Seasons next time to see how that is. They've got a setup at the airport to greet the pax and seem to take care of you from front to back.
As everyone said, bring a book, maybe two, get the $200 oceanview room, rent a boat but don't bang it up.
I'm off to the desk to see if we can get the meal plan.
Cheers
