great place for golfing and massages However the food did not meet the standard of other previously visited four seasons. weather too cold to enjoy the beach

Sadly the Four Seasons are pulling out of this resort next week. Hopefully another buyer is in the pipeline as this really is one of the nicest locations that we have ever stayed in. The staff were friendly, thoughtful and attentative. Our room was beautifully furnished and kept imaculately clean. Despite having had poor reviews on food standards we found that the majority of the meals were excellent. Yes, it could be reviewed as a little bit "pricey" but no more than any other 4 or 5 star hotel anywhere else in the world.
We spent a wonderful day with Captain Jerry Lewis (all day boat charter $750 which includes him as a guide) and spent the day seeing deserted beaches, the clearest sea and some of the best snorkelling that I've ever done (better than the Red Sea, the Carribean and the Barrier Reef!!).
On another day we took a taxi to Coco Plum Beach (again beautiful) and had lunch there (absolutely delicious!). After eating we spent a few hours swimming, walking on sand bars and looking for sand dollars.
If you want "time out" then this is the place to go. If you want busy nights and parties then you will be disappointed.

We were sorry to learn in advance of our upcoming trip next week that the resort would be closing on 5/26.

Sad news indeed as I believe the resort is the largest employer on the island. Hopefully a new buyer or management group will get this resort up and running soon.

My husband and I just returned from a 4-night stay at Four Seasons Great Exuma for a romantic/anniversary getaway. We paid $375 per night for garden view room and received 4th night free on hotel website promo. The garden view rooms are all ground level with patios that walk out onto the grass and then scenic sidewalks. They seemed decent enought, but the hotel was not fully occupied so we asked if we could receive an upgrade. They happily bumped us up to the second floor (each building has three floors) and the ocean view was much better. Nice sitting balcony with table and chairs and sounds of the lapping waves were audible, especially at night, even though the beach was still a distance away from our building. All buildings are equidistant from beach except for the "residences" or "beachfront" rooms. They are literally on the beach. Very nice but a much bigger price jump.

The service and staff were some of the most friendly we've encountered, especially the concierge. The manager even sent a small bottle of Veuve to celebrate our anniversay, nice touch. Everyone knew our name (not too hard when the resort is so empty) but the friendly greetings everywhere we went were still much appreciated. We ate at all three restaurants (how could you not because there is NOTHING nearby). The food was good, not the best ever, but certainly good. And yes, the prices are expensive. $13 for a mixed drink. $12 for glass of wine. $6 for a beer. But hey, you are staying in a Four Seasons.

I ready MANY reviews of beach resorts before we selected FS Exuma. We chose it for the value (the lower price in May combined with fourth night free could not be beat), the proximity to Miami airport, the snorkeling, and the peace and quiet. With those as our determining factors I'd say we selected just right.. We rented a car for the 4 days from Airport Car Rental (literally across the street from airport at $70 per day). We heard that the cab fare back and forth to Georgetown was $100 roundtrip, we're culturally curious, wanted to seek out local cuisine and activities so it made sense to rent the car. If we were at FS Exuma for a quick 2 night weekend then I would definitely not rent a car. We found amazing local breakfast of Stewed Conch at Town Cafe, the absolute best lunch ever at CocoPlum with hands down the most beautiful waters ever, and the freshest conch ceviche at Chat n Chill. (the sunday pig roast party seems to be the main event in Exuma wiith locals, yachties, and tourists. a truly awesome day. Too many rum punches to remember the details). It was liberating to explore the local flavor of Exuma on our own, however, we certainly did enjoy the poolside pampering (fruit kebobs, popsicles) at FS.

We only hope the economy doesn't hurt FS Exuma too badly. Such a beautiful property where you can check-in and literally check out from the rest of the world.
