Hotels near Staniel Cay - TYM, Staniel Cay

just an unbelievable location. We wish we had spent longer here because we spent the next half of oour holiday at the atlantis and it was awful compared to staniel cay. we even swam in unpopulated beaches and saw wild stingrays, it was just amazing.

A small island hideaway used by yachties and boaters. The water is incredibly stunning, beautiful sunsets and friendly people. The Flying Pig Cafe is run by the folks at Embrace Resorts with a variety of food and drinks available. The Staniel Cay Yacht Club was a great place for hanging out, watching the yachts moored and excellent food. A great place to people watch. The beaches were spectacular with soft white sand and calm waters on one side of the island and the more craggy and rougher Atlantic side. There is one church on the island that visitors and the island people attend. A very warm, hospitable and friendly island. Take an excursion to tool around the islands. Gold carts are the best way to get around, but bikes and walking is easy to do as well. The island is small, only about 2 square miles. One can't get lost! There are a few grocery stores as well. Just remember, most food is imported and expensive. Bring cash, as there are no ATM's on the island. Some places will take credit cards.

If you're looking for nightlife or nice restaurants to eat this is not the place to go. There is literally one place that you can eat. It's hard to find food to cook on your own because you have to wait for the boat to come in if you're buying groceries, there's not a lot and they are expensive. If you want to fish and boat, this is the place but it is very expensive to rent. At night time there is absolute nothing to do but sit home and drink or go to the one bar "yacht club" to drink.

Loved every second on Staniel Cay. It is paradise on earth. Now I just have to win "lotto" so I can take all my friends there. Highlight of our visit was spending the day out on the water visiting Pig Island and swimming with the pigs, the nurse sharks, snorkelling into Thunderball Grotto with my partner. By the time we snorkelled out I had gained my confidence in the water and we were able to snorkel out through the gap holding hands (a very special experience as it was his dream for us to see this place together)
