Pink Sands Resort

Occupying 20 lush acres in Harbour Island's Dunmore Town (50 miles east of Nassau), Pink Sands Beach boasts 23 pastel-hued cottages and easy access to the Bahamas' signature rosy sands. Take your pick between a spacious standard guestroom and a secluded Bimini Cottage; all rooms include a California king bed, air conditioning and a private patio with teak furniture. As its moniker suggests, the Pink Sands Resort's main appeal is its blush-colored beach. Though the coral sands are ideal for lounging, you'll have to venture off site and pay extra for water sports, like scuba diving, snorkeling and bone fishing. Despite the isolation afforded by the resort and the romantic atmosphere of these accommodations, some recent guests say the entire resort is overpriced, especially the menu items at the two on-site restaurants, Garden Terrace and Blue Bar.
