we just returned from a really great time at fernandez bay village, family of 4 plus mother-in-law ... it was exactly what we'd hoped for. the beach is spectacular, the rooms & villas are perfect, great food, and we had excellent weather. but what makes it "simply wonderful" are the people there. from the minute we got off the plane,...

I don't want to talk this place up too much so I want to start out this review with the negatives--it's not easy getting to Cat Island with just two flights a day on an airline that follows island time (that is, sometimes they leave early, sometimes they leave late). There's only one main road here and the side roads... More

My wife and I have been visiting Cat Island for a decade and, although this was our first stay at Fernandez Bay, it will not be our last. Situated on a beautiful and tranquil beach, the owners (long-time cat residents ) have created just the right balance for everyone. Families, couples, singles all mix comfortably, and privacy and quiet are... More

We just returned from our fifth visit to Fernandez Bay Village. Clearly, we just can't get enough. If you are looking to disconnect, this is the place. No telephones or televisions in the rooms, there's Internet in the Clubhouse, but honestly if you are spending a single moment on an iPad, iPhone, iWhatever, you are missing out. Instead, I recommend... More

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Fernandez Bay Village and it was amazing. This is a truly rustic, comfortable, friendly, and relaxing heaven on earth. We had been leery of the Bahamas and all the "resorts" with casinos, tourists, and busy-ness. Our friends had visited FBV last year and fell in love with it and thought... More

The owners and the entire staff (including Donna) are incredibly warm and hospitable. FBV has everything anybody could possibly need. Quiet, peace and total relaxation are the order of the day ! Food, the honor bar and the ambiance just could not be better. While there check out Glass Beach at the North end. The sea glass is everywhere. Cat... More

We first stayed here in 2003, we were looking for a thatched cottage on a beach. FBV offers that and more with a casual but elegant open dining area, a lovely outside honor bar and a good mixture of American and Bahamian food. The staff are friendly and very helpful just like all Cat Islanders. We fell in love with... More

Experienced a very relaxed homestyle island retreat complete with camp fires at night and gorgeous sunsets. Bicycles were made available to explore the island of which there wasn't much to see aside from the deserted north beaches that went for miles and of course the Hermitage which is the only other thing to see on the island. If you want... More

Fernandez Bay is truly Paradise found. I have travelled a great deal because we are a diplomatic family. Over the yeras, I have spent a great deal of time researching the most remote and beautiful destinations that best match my idea of a desert island fantasy. I searched no more the first time we visited Fernandez Bay Village. There are... More

We first visited Fernandez Bay Village on the recommendation of a friend in 2001 and immediately fell in love with it. We have been very blessed to experience a large portion of this planet and Fernandez Bay Village remains our #1 favorite vacation location. Granted you'll be hard pressed to find a more beautiful sugar white sand beach with calm... More
