Bahamas - Sandals Emerald Bay

Sandals Emerald Bay was very special to us as we got married here on 30 January 2016. I will write a separate post about getting married at the Sandals as too much to fit into this post. 

A separate post will also be written about the best tour ever; swimming with the pigs.

We stayed here for a week, 28 January 2016 to 2 February 2016. 

















The Resort
Sandals Emerald Bay is an adults only resort with food and drinks all-inclusive, which sits directly on a pristine, mile-long beach, deep within the idyllic waters of the Exumas.

The overall experience cant get anything less than 5 of 5.  

Facilities
I never used the SPA during my stay so cannot comment on this but my husband did use the SPA on the day of our wedding to get some treatments and to get ready and he was happy with it. 

I did use the gym a couple of times which was nice and cool and not too busy.

Pool
There is a main pool and a quiet pool. We only used the main pool which had a swim up bar with lots of great choices for drinks. 

There were many deck chairs as well as comfy beds in the shade. There was also sofas in the pool which were very comfy to lie in. 

I would rate the pools 5 of 5.



Restaurants
There are so many choices for restaurants and we tried all of them:

Il Cielo  (4+ of 5)
Italian restaurant that serves Italian food, great limoncellos and the nicest a la carte breakfast. We had dinner here once and breakfast twice.

Barefoot by the Sea (5 of 5)
A restaurant on the beach where we had dinner twice. Each time I had the tuna steak but chose different side dishes to have with it. The ambiance is lovely and the food is amazing. We also had some nice lunches here.








 Le Parisienne (4 of 5)
We had dinner here on our wedding night and on another night and the food were nice but I preferred the Il Cielo and the Barefoot by the Sea. 




Drunken Duck (3+ of 5)
The food is OK for a British pub but not what we preferred for a dinner as so many other great choices.  However, it is great for drinks after dinner somewhere else and we had a great kareoke night here one night. We also enjoyed a roast Sunday lunch during our stay and shared a fish and chips one afternoon when we wanted a snack.






Bahama Bay (3+ of 5)
We has most of our breakfast and lunches here with a great selection for hot and cold breakfast and also great with choices for lighter or larger lunches. We never had dinner here. 

Dinos Pizzeria (4 of 5)
Were nice pizzas! We had lunch here once and also grabbed a few slizes in the afternoons to tie us over before a late dinner.

Cafe de Paris (5 of 5)
An excellent little cafe with a great selection of pastries, cakes and icecream as well as hot and cold coffee drinks. We often choose to walk here after dinner rather than having dessert in the restaurants and I drank many many ice coffees here and a few liqueur coffees in the evenings.
