We arrived Treasure Cay Hotel (TCH) the last 3 days of our 2-week vacation. We had been island and hotel hopping and ended our holiday at this quaint hotel. The condo’s are at least 20 years old and in pretty good shape. They are painted in Caribbean colors and range from hotel rooms to one bedroom condo’s with kitchens. We were traveling during the slow season so our room rate was very inexpensive for the one bedroom condo less than $200 a night (including tax).

The condo rooms were not large, we had a fully equipped kitchen, table, living room, two full bathrooms and upstairs loft/bedroom. The décor was early 90’s but given we weren’t in the room much I did not mind the outdated furniture and thought the hotel had character. TCH had an on sight full service restaurant, bar, pool (which was not appealing) and across the street about ¼ mile you could spend the day at the beach and have breakfast/lunch at Coco Beach Bar.

Next to the hotel is a grocery store, post office, bank, bakery, liquor store, car rental ($75/ day) and golf cart rental ($40/ day). Because everything was accessible via walking a few steps renting a golf cart would be a complete waste of money. We rented a car for two days and drove to the north end of the island (Crown Harbour) as well as to Marsh Harbor and down to Winding Bay (Private Ritz Carlton Resort) don’t bother going unless you want to spend $200 for lunch!

Abacos is a very quiet island and Treasure Cay is even more quiet. This is a place to enjoy quiet time with your spouse or good family entertainment. If you have children I would recommend going during the busy season. While we were there (slow season) there were no kids, had we had children this would have been very difficult as there would be no one for them to play with during the day. Being married with no kids we were able to mix with the other guests that were at the hotel (25 people max!). This is not a place to have a wild party, it is quiet and other than a local guy that plays good music, sings and dances at Typsey’s bar that will be the biggest party you are going to see.

Taxi cost to/from Marsh Harbor Airport $85.00 one way. Food prices are 55% higher than US, meat and dairy areextremely expensive. Many guests brought their own food in their luggage. Custom’s does not take the food so feel free to bring meat, dry goods, and any other expensive items to offset the prices. Beer is also expensive, plan to pay $5 at the bar or $2.50 at the liquor store. Reminder that the locals are not getting rich off you. The cost to transport food from the heartland of the US, to Florida then onto a barge into the Bahamas is extremely expensive.

Bug spray: we brought 4 bottles with us for our 14 day stay on Abacos and Out Islands. We successfully used two bottles and never ran out which is important. Also we brought more than we thought we would use because if we lost a bottle purchasing a bottle down there will cost you over $15.

If you are looking for a nice place to stay that does not have a lot of frills than TCH is a nice place to stay. If you are celebrating a special anniversary, having a wedding or are older and are looking to spend your honeymoon I might consider spending the extra money at The Bahamas Beach Club Resort (BBC) which is ½ mile down the street. That resort is 3 times the cost, brand new and polished. TCH is older, has everything you will need but lacks the polish of BBC.

My husband and I just came back from a week at the Treasure Cay Hotel and had a relaxing time. The beach across the street from the hotel is gorgeous and was never crowded. Hotel guests are provided with beach chairs under little tiki huts for no charge.
We stayed in a one bedroom suite facing the marina with a full kitchen. The room has the basic amenities you need and nothing more - I wouldn't call it luxury, but it was simple and neat. The view from the room was pretty - there is a nice balcony set up with chairs where you can watch the boats go by.
I felt that dining options were limited and my opinion was that the restaurant was overpriced for the quality of food they served. In this regard, the kitchen came in handy - we ended up cooking most of our own meals. There is a grocery store right on the property where you can get what you need. Also, be sure to try the cinnamon rolls in the bakery at the hotel - they are delicious and big enough to share!
The service at the hotel can be improved. If you come here, be prepared and willing to be pretty self-sufficient. Once you are checked in it is difficult to get any more help from the hotel staff. For example, the hotel advertised free wi-fi, which was down for most of the time we were there. When we asked about it on a few different occasions the response was usually something like, "It might be back up tomorrow, we're not sure." Also, when we used the stove top in our room we kept getting swarms of flies coming through a gap in the side of the window in the kitchen. We were pretty much left to fend for ourselves when we contacted the front desk and were told there was nothing they could do. Obviously we were prepared for having bugs since it is a tropical location, but it was disappointing that the hotel would not even look into fixing the window or even providing some bug spray for around the window.
This is a great place to come if you are looking to get a basic room and just relax and enjoy the beach. If you are looking for more attentive service, this is probably not the place for you.
While you are in Treasure Cay it is nice to go out snorkeling or diving with Treasure Cay Divers - they took us out to great spots and were very nice. Also, you can rent a bike or golf cart to get around the area and check out some other local beaches or restaurants.
There's lots to do in the area and beautiful sights to see!

As most Caribbean travelers learn, off season travel is not as easy due to reduced options for the out islands, so we flew into Marsh Harbor and took a taxi for the 23 mile ride to Treasure Cay. (pronounced Key) But as luck has it, we found ourselves in the hands of an 83 year old driver, Victor Russel, taxi # 1 who was the first taxi driver on the island 49 years ago! What fun. His van was luxurious with comfortable seats and a great AC. Once in Treasure Cay we rented a Golf Cart for local transportation. No need for a rental car in this paradise. We could walk or drive the cart to the grocery, liquor store, bars, and restaurants. Our one bedroom suite was located in Marina Cove on ground level and the small patio faced the boats in the protected marina. Since the resort is not busy during September, most of the rooms had hurricane shutters closed. We only saw six other lights in other 1 and 2 bedroom suites near us at night. We used the community pool on 3 occasions and were completely alone. The Spinnaker restaurant was much busier. After dinner we were able to dance with a small crowd then stumble home next door. Put it on your list. We also took a boat ride for a day visit to Guana Cay and spent our time at Grabbers restaurant, pool and beach. Great ambiance.You will want to shop in the gift store for the hats and shirts to remember your trip. Treasurer Cay is a laid back mid level vacation offering fun and sun activities between the busy island of Nassau or the remote beaches of Eleuthera. There is also a great golf course and diving for you sports fans. What else? Comfort and relaxation. Hot water and good water pressure, ATM machine, central AC, beautiful landscaping, cable TV, free high speed internet access, and our cell phones worked most of the time. No complaints from us. Take your favorite book if you read because magazines and newspapers are hard to find.

Treasure Cay has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world bar none. Unfortunately the employees have an attitude. I was at the pool bar and no one was there except the bartender. After 15 minutes and not even been acknowledged at all. I walked up to the bar tender and asked if we could have a few beers. He was talking with his buddies. He turned and said"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY" I mentioned this experience to a friend and he had a simular experience with a different bar tender.
I would much rather stay at Abaco Beach Hotel 20 mile away where the service is great and they treat you like a friend!
