My husband, kids and I have been regular visitors to Spanish Wells for several years now, and ALWAYS have had an awesome time. This is an island where we feel safe and welcome. To get there, fly into North Eleuthera Airport, and then grab a ground taxi cab and a 5-minute ferry ride to the Spanish Wells dock. Right at... more

My partner and I and another couple spent 10 days on Spanish Wells this winter. Pretty much the ONLY thing this place has going for it are the beaches which are beautiful. Read some earlier reviews.

The houses are all clustered together and the island lacks space. It was a little odd that the... more

I just returned from the Island yestuday and wish I didn't have too. It was absolutly amazing. The people are all so friendly you feel as though your with family you never met. I enjoyed snorkling, fishing, and parting. I live in Orlando so I deal with the hussel and bussel of city life and this is the perfect place... more
