Augusta Bay

I could not have been happier selecting this hotel. Arlene the hotel manager was a darling. So attentive and understood exactly what I was seeking for this vacation. The hotel had been updated since my last visit to the island in 2021. My first time staying at Augusta Bay. I saw it my last visit, but the updates attracted me to book my reservation this time. I have traveled to Great Exuma 3xs solo. I can say the staff was INCREDIBLE!!! Everyone was so kind and friendly. Super accommodating. My room was clean and welcoming. My view was stunning. Hotel is quiet and safe. Close to George Town and taxis come quickly upon request. While Augusta Bay doesn't have a true beach, the beaches are very close. Like 10 steps away. I walked to Jolly Hall beach every day - this is one of my favorite beaches in Great Exuma. I either walked along the beach front which is beautiful or roadside which is quicker, but the view isn't the same as walking beachfront. Only one day I ventured to Peace and Plenty beach which I took a taxi to that hotel due to the heat and sun - too hot to walk plus walking roadside can be tricky if you are uncomfortable walking long distance given the direction the cars. Upon arriving at Peace and Plenty you take a lovely boat ($30 bucks' roundtrip) ride to their beach. In previous visits I stayed at Peace and Plenty but was SUPER DUPER happier at Augusta Bay this visit. The weather was PERFECT, hot but with warm breezes. The beach water at both beaches felt like a warm bath with cool pockets. Just absolute perfection. At the beaches I saw stingrays, barracudas, colorful fish, and turtles --- no sharks this visit but previous visits saw a few small sharks, but they were nurse shark which are harmless, never bothered anyone just swam by. I have learned to obverse but not bother the fish. Stingrays are friendly and will come up to you. On Jolly Hall there is an open-air restaurant called "Cool Beach", serves local food and drinks. Each day I tried something new: conch salad, grilled grouper, best handmade cheeseburger, lobster tail with fresh veggies and fried conch over salad. This is a gem in the cut. Food is fresh and delicious. Augusta Bay hotel food was GREAT - ate there twice: had breakfast (blueberry pancakes like mom made them and bacon); dinner (fried grouper, mac & cheese and veggies - the bread pudding for dessert was so good). Drinks were yummy. Restaurant staff were the sweetest. Em head of housekeeping was AMAZING!!! She was a ray of sunshine with her warm spirit and energy. She made me feel right at home. In addition to Arlene, Em gave great recommendations of places to visit on the island. Zandy at the front desk was so adorable. Just the sweetest. I can't say enough how great the team is at Augusta Bay. Augusta Bay is close to Fish Fry which I walked to at night solo and didn't feel at risk. It was a safe walk. Had delicious food at Shirley's Restuarant. All the food stands at Fish Fry are great, I just happen to l

Akeem is an absolute delight! He is warm, personable, funny, attentive...the total package. Hoping he comes to visit us in Wisconsin so we can return the favor. He made a good visit GREAT! With much appreciation, Mama P.S. Food was delicious! Chicken quesadilla, chicken wrap, garden salad and cheese burger were all PERFECT! P.P.S. GO PACK GO!

Dear Arlene was welcoming us with great service and warm friendlyness. We felt like to be at the best place on exuma cays from the first moment on. The whole hotel and pool area was very clean and in the best possible condition every single minute of our stay. Stuff was caring in the best way for everything. Breakfast was more than ok, every day they offered fresh bread, eggs and stuff, fruits, yoghurt and more. With the background, that our original booked hotel was disappointing in every single way, we were once more so HAPPY with our wonderful stay at Augusta! Come to Exuma, land on Augusta - everything is gonna be great :-)
