My family and I decided to return to Great Harbour Cay after over a decade away. I visited there as a kid but haven't been in decades. While my memories were always lovely, they just don't do the island justice.
I wish I could capture just how wonderful-- how beautiful, relaxing, and gosh-darned majestic-- our stay was at Casa Sol. Sitting on Sugar Beach, the ocean was warm and blue and right in front of our chairs. We watched dolphins while lazing with books and puzzles, and when we ventured out to sea, thousands of fish swam by our boat with a friendly hello. The home we stayed in 30 years ago lacked air conditioning and bug/spider repellant; I can happily report that both were in full effect at Casa Sol! With 8 adults and a baby, we were concerned about sleeping quarters, but with three king-sized bedrooms, two baths, and a kitchen on the second floor, and two beds, a bath, and a second kitchen on the first, everyone was very comfortable.
There are colors on the island I haven't seen anywhere else. And the food-- we drowned ourselves in conch fritters and fresh fish! (The Wharf, Coolie May's, Hammerheads, all fantastic. Beach Club was closed for the season but is always great!) And the people on the island- I've never felt so welcomed.
Isabelle was- is- the best host. She was available for suggestions months in advance and stayed so while we were on the island. She made our trip what it was. We are all so grateful. Thank you, Isabelle!
We can't wait to go back.
