A Top Hotel On Long Island For A Bahamas Vacation

A Bahamas Beach Resort right on the north end of Long Island called the Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort could be the perfect place to spend a Bahamas Vacation. If you can stay in one of the Beachfront Villas, then for goodness sake try to afford it. They are top end quality with accommodation stretching to over 1800 square feet, with stunning uninterrupted views, overlooking the three mile long beach.

You will find an enclosed porch, a huge living room/dining room/kitchen area. There are two separate bathrooms, one with a Jacuzzi. They are well kitted out with TV and DVD player, wireless internet access, though why anyone would want that on vacation, and a washer/dryer. All in all beautifully designed and appointed, which reflects the elegant and relaxed style of the Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort.

The villas are part of the Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort, but can also be purchased as well as rented.

They are positioned at the south end of the resort but only a short walk from the bar and restaurant.

The beach here is about the best the Bahamas has to offer, in fact it has been described as one of the best beaches in the world, and that is saying something, which makes it the perfect Bahamas Vacation destination. The water even in mid winter is warm, and the colours are a staggering mix of turquoise, blue and green. The soft white sand beach is just perfect to stroll along, and at the north end is a well protected cove, and the southern end is a reef and rock area where you can snorkel to your hearts content.

Whilst you can cook in your kitchen area, the restaurant at Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort is very good and there is lots of it. The menu offers something for everyone. The cuisine is a touch of Caribbean flair, with great flavours, and utterly fresh.

By Bahamas standards the food is relatively inexpensive, and with the dollar sterling euro exchange rate at the time of writing, which is March 2008 almost a bargain for Europeans. The main problem about self catering in the kitchen is the fact you'll have to hire a car, and drive a fair distance for provisions. You should just enjoy the restaurant at this fine Bahamas resort, and take a work free vacation instead of having to cook.

The staff at a resort are very much what can make the difference to a vacation. You can have the best beach, beautiful weather, great food, good accommodation, and have it ruined by poor attitude from the staff. Here at Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort the staff are very professional, and very attentive and just add to the Bahamas vacation experience.

Many reports indicate that guests have rated the Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort as not only their best vacation in the Bahamas, but their best vacation ever anywhere, which is some praise indeed.

To conclude, Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort is a great place for a Bahamas vacation, especially if you are happy with a wonderful beach, and don't want the hassle of leaving the resort, because everything on Long Island is a drive away. If you are happy to walk on the beach, swim, take out a hobie cat, snorkel, take a massage, and eat and drink, then this will be ideal.
