We've been in Bahamas & Exumas before, but this stay in Coral Gardens was special. We were there for 3 nights, before getting aboard a sailboat up to NY, USA, so these 3 nights were important for us to get rest. Peter & Betty were welcoming from the start, offering all required information on Georgetown area, making our stay as... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for the first half of our 9 days in the Exumas. We arrived at the airport and was immediately greeted by our driver who took us to the beautiful Coral Gardens! Here we met Peter, the most knowledgeable and helpful host to our Exuma vacation. He will ensure you have all the info you... More

We were so over-whelmed with humility with your report. You write with such praise is that all we can say is GRAZIEI !!, GRAZIEI !! However, we respond to the way that guests treat us and most want to enjoy learning about what to do, see and experience whilst they are here in Exuma and we want to help them... More

We spent 4 nights here in February and I really reccomend both this island and Coral Gardens B&B. We got a king size bed room that was extremely clean and cosy. We really enjoyed our big bed and the well ventilated room. During our staying we didnt need the aircondition at all, that for us it's a plus. Service was... More

We just spent a week at the Coral Gardens B&B and thoroughly enjoyed it. As others have mentioned, Peter and Betty are wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful hosts. We explored the island, and were amazed at the clear, turquoise water and white powdery sand. Many of the beaches were miles long and often we were the only people there. Quiet and... More

Peter had an in depth knowledge of wildlife, history, plants, places and things to do. I never found him in error or even over stating his factual understanding (which I am apt to do). He never overstayed his conversation and always left me wanting to hear more. He arranged for tours and bicycle rental. We tried to get dive trips... More

If you are looking for a place just to unwind the exuma Island is the place to be, the people are very friendly and the have some of the best beaches in the world and we live in a country (Australia) that has them also so I feel Im qualified to judge! If you are looking for a B&B then... More

Dear Folks, that's the perfect place to visit Great and Little Exuma, it's first of all a B&B, but Peter Oaxley, the gentleman owner of the mansion, can provide you also large apartments on the side of the house (up to a family of 6), or 2 apartments on the beach that are more expensive but very cool. The accomodation... More

We are a quite young Italian couple (33 years old) with a 1 & 1\2 year old boy. We decided to chose Exuma because we wanted something out of the main touristic route and we chose this B&B because it seemed to be more in line with the island’s expectations. We are still really happy about this B&B that resulted... More
