Exuma Point Beach Resort AKA Swimming Pigs Beach Resort
We knew we wanted to stay somewhere with a laid-back “local” feel when we were planning our swim with the pigs Exuma trip and with Tory and Exuma Point Beach Resort we found exactly what we had in mind.
Tory met us at the airport with his genuine Bahamanian accent and infectious laugh. We followed him out to the resort, which is about 20 -25 minutes from the airport but with very little traffic on island the drive is nothing to complain about. The airport is almost in the middle of the island so staying on either end the drive is about the same.
The property is not a typical large resort but is a well laid out group of colorful oceanview cottages with an oceanfront restaurant on the property. Tory showed us to our cottage and gave us terrific insight about the property, the history of Rolleville and current events happening on the island.
Our cottage was The Lignum Vitae, a 2 bedroom 2 bath charming brightly teal colored cottage. We were pleasantly surprised to find the cottage to be very clean and well organized. The living room was furnished a love seat, arm chair, side table, coffee table and TV stand packed with large beach towels, there was also had a TV which we never turned on because we were always out and about exploring. The dine in kitchen had a full size fridge, propane stove, pots, pans, dishes, utensils and a bar height bistro table. Both bedrooms were decorated in a beach team with queen beds, side chairs, night stands and dressers. The bathrooms were standard baths with tub/shower combs and had all the towels our 4 member family needed for our weeks stay. Hotel type shampoos and soaps were provided. We requested additional beach towels which the housekeeper delivered with a big smile. WiFi was free and reliable.
We explored the entire island from end to end, eating at quaint little tucked away local places and at larger resort restaurants but it wasn’t until the last 2 days of our stay that we discovered the best food on island was right there at Exuma Point Resort. Mary Ann, co-owner of the resort and head cook, was gracious and friendly, making us feel right at home. She did whatever she could to accommodate our kid’s meal request even adding items that were not on the menu. She made the most delicious Grouper fingers we have tasted and we hail from the Cayman Islands which is known for some of the best culinary experiences in the Caribbean.
