“Good Value on Exuma Island”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

Hideaways at Palm Bay is a nice, quiet hotel, not too far from Georgetown. This is a great place to relax and soak up the Caribbean sun. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, and the beach is gorgeous. The food service at the restaurant can be quite slow, but we opted to eat at the nearby local restaurants most of the time, anyhow. Please be advised that Exuma is a a very quiet island with a non-existent nightlife. It's great for relaxing, kayaking, snorkeling, and diving, but there isn't much else to do. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“good value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

Nice hotel near Georgetown (there is a free shuttle bus every 2 hours), friendly staff, clean rooms, free kayacs.
Jolly Hall beach near the hotel is very beautiful place to relax.
Staff helped to organise activities.
A/C was a little bit noisy.

“Quiet retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

Hideaways at Palm Bay is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Bahamian sun, beach and water. It is away from the hustle and bustle of Georgetown, quiet and private, but should you feel the need to go into town to shop, dine or just poke around, Hideaways provides a complimentary shuttle.

Room Tip: The bungalows away from the pool are quieter and more private, but still close enough to the pool an...

“Definetely not good for 30's”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2013

This place is old, low quality in everything. The customer service is awful . There is nothing to do in exuma. Boring , boring, old and mugly.i dont know how people write good review. I totally believe that this place can be better with a full renovation and some customer service training. Food is average nothing special. Limited menu, limited options.
The only good is the beach is nice and clean .

Room Tip: Do not go if you are looking for modern place or if you are depress.

“Great week in Exuma”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2013

Our week at Palm Bay was great. Studio 11 was spacious and the best location. Spend the extra for the beachfront location. I thought having to pay extra for housekeeping was a little odd, and should have been included for the price they were asking.
The free shuttle into Georgetown was great. We used itseveral times.
All in all there is a friendly and casual atmoshpere that is restful and enjoyable. Don' go there if you're looking for glitz, but if you want a good base location to explore Great Exuma you should't be disappointed.
Rent a Boston Whaler from Minn'sin georgetown if you have any boating experience...that way you can set out to one of many perfect sand beaches that are close and very interesting. You are likely to see rays, starfish and perhaps even a small reef shark.
The beach at the hotel is not the best but there is a marvelous beach a short walk away to the left....Jolly Hall Beach, where you could be the only one on it's soft white sand stretch in paradise.
Splash restaurant was adequate, with varying quality of service depending who was working.
Loved the conch fritters, chicken fingers and burgers.

Room Tip: Not much privacy on the patios at the villas around the kidney shaped pool.
