Cute place, Apple is working hard on fixing it up, new deck and pond is a very nice addition, and the roof deck offers a sublime view and lovely breezes. Cold, yummy drinks and Lo-Lo cooked the best darned almond-encrusted red snapper we've ever tasted, just thinking of it makes us wanna go right back! Go! See! Eat! Enjoy! More

Porter manages Island Thyme and Castaway, the beautiful resort where we stayed. AS such, it was just so easy to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner through PIT. At the begenning I was nervous about going on a small island with basically no choice of where to eat, but fear not! We have some picky eaters in our family, and I... More

Haidee and Porter have created a fantastic island fun spot. It was the perfect spot for some drinks, a fabulous meal, an amazing view, great service and a fantastic atmosphere. I'm going back to get my name on the wall as a Zoo Keeper!! Don't forget to go upstairs and check out the upper deck! More

If Salt Cay is the ultimate, laid-back destination with limited island activities save for returning your inner self to a balance of peace and tranquility, then Porter's Island Thyme is the devilish diversion amongst that archipelago of consciousness. Though diving, snorkeling, whale-watching and general do-nothing-ness will occupy your days, dinner and revelry at "The IT" will fill your nights. You'll... More
