Activities

There is always an adventure waiting on Great Harbour Cay. The fishing, both deep water and bone fishing, is considered by many to be the best in the Bahamas. Local guides are ready to provide a perfect day on the water, including World Class fly fishing guide Percy Darville! Diving, spear-fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, bicycling – and of course, jogging on seven miles of beautiful white sand beach! Stingray City, the Blue Hole, and Flo’s Conch Bar are just a boat ride away.

The island has its own pair of manatees (which are often seen in the marina), and a nine-hole golf course. When the tide is out, guests can walk across to Hawk’s Nest Island, which is home to several conch nurseries. Shell collecting, island exploring, swimming in the ocean, or just sitting on the beach watching the beautiful water provides quieter distraction. The sea caves are stunning and make for amazing pictures! Car, golf cart, and private boat rentals are available.

Testimonials

Jeff and Judy Schneider, Ponchatoula, La

We just fished 4 days at Carriearl Hotel on Great Harbor Cay, in the Bahamas with Percy Darville as he knows these waters intimately. The hotel is small, quaint, and a bit different in many ways but certainly worth using as a base of operations. The food is exceptional and Marty, the owner, will pack a nice lunch for your boat. The rooms have AC and private baths, there is a very nice pool, and you are only a few yards from a 5-mile white sand beach that was deserted for our trip. In 4 days, we saw one of Percy’s friends fishing and that was the only other fishing boat we saw anywhere. We intend to return. Just visiting with Percy and eating at the hotel is worth the trip.

Captain of the Navigator of the Seas

When we get to visit it is the perfect way to get a taste of real paradise. What you have set up is truly unique. After 19 years of traveling the world with our ships and almost every island in the Caribbean you stand out as our favorite place. The service and food was fantastic as always and hopefully I can come over soon again with colleagues and friends.

From the time of our reservation to the time we left Angie and Marty could not have been more accommodating. Angie arranged a car, Marty picked us up at the marina. The “resort” was a cute little place that was extremely clean, neat and tastefully done with a bit of “island” flare. Food was excellent. Pool and beach was awesome. Island people were extremely friendly. All and all a great little trip.

Susan C

The Carriearl is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy the amazing beaches and natural beauty of Great Harbor Cay. Angie and Marty are the consummate hosts, their small boutique hotel is lovely, the food was fab, and they could not have been more accommodating. We arrived as guests and left as friends. John and I cannot wait to get back to the charming Carriearl and share another Kalik with our UK friends. Cheers!

HungryFisherwoman

We considered several options before deciding upon Carriearl for a second visit after Christmas. The beaches there are so lovely and secluded. It’s probably the most relaxing place we’ve ever stayed. The food and drink is wonderful and the rooms clean and very comfortable.

Michael A

One hour plane flight from FLL. 10 minute drive to Carriearl Hotel to find total peace of mind. Great property with a pool and plenty of space to relax. The most beautiful beach on a long curve having the whole beach to myself. Walk north walk south no people just sand blue/green water the best. The hosts Angie and Marty very nice, very helpful, good food safe and clean. Rent a car and explore the island.
Enjoy.
