We highly recommend this hotel. If you are looking for a place to stay on Cat Island this is it. Our trip began with the friendly and gracious owner Rich picking us up at the airport. Once at the resort we were pleased to find a quiet, beautiful little piece of paradise. The guest rooms are lovely, clean, and spacious.... More

Richard and David - thanks for an awesome stay, and a number of phenomenal meals. We were on the island for business, but this resort was a solid oasis of high quality room construction, great attention to detail with linens, luxury touches, very functional beach location, great night time ocean waves saying "go to sleep", and very accomodating hosts. I... More

My wife and I arrived for our 4 day vacation on Cat Island. We stumbled upon this hotel by accident. I am so glad we did. It was the most beautiful place either of us have ever been. We have been to many Islands in the past and none came close. Rich was the man. He was so great to... More

Great vacation! My husband and I wanted a vacation in which we could relax on a beautiful beach without crowds— Tail Winds definitely delivered. Beach- I have been to numerous beaches and this is by far the most amazing beach. White powdery sand, clear turquoise water, west facing for sun sets, no rocky pebbles to hurt your feet, no liter,...

My fiancée and I traveled to Tail Winds recently and had an amazing time relaxing in paradise. Our entire experience was unlike any prior vacation we’ve taken, particularly differing from the big box resorts where food is mass produced and waiting in long lines at swim-up bars is the norm. The beach is amazing and the turquoise colored water rivals... More

We have been delinquent in writing this review because we really wanted to see if months later we still feel the same way. Not only do we feel the same way, we feel even more attached to Tailwinds than ever. Being veteran island vacationers, we are writing this somewhat reluctantly though. We selfishly wanted to keep this place a secret... More

Torn between keeping this piece of paradise to ourselves and sharing our experience, we have opted for the latter in hopes that it will encourage a few more people to experience the out islands. We stayed at Tail Winds in February 2012 and are already planning our next visit. We will definitely be staying at Tail Winds again. Here are... More

I really had doubts about writing a review as not to ruin the place with popularity but the host was so gracious that it was the least I can do for the wonderful stay we had. No pictures can capture this place as it is more of an immersion. This was simply the very best beach experience we have ever... More

We sailed to Cat Island and rented a car to explore for one day. We found this place after meeting a couple at conch bar nearby who raved about where they were staying. When we arrived, it was deserted and that's a good thing! If you want tobe left alone, this is the place. All "toys" are available. No restaurant... More

We keep coming back. It's wonderful and right on beach with beautiful views. Tiki bar with sunset views. Nicely appointed extremely clean villas. Free wifi internet to guests. Free kayaks and bicycles. Great snorkeling right from the beach. It doesn't get any better than Tailwinds. As close to paradise as you can get. More
