A stay at the Andros Beach Club (ABC) is a vacation unlike any other you will experience. It is stepping into another time and in place. ABC is engulfed in a lush setting of tropical vegetation and virgin, sand covered beaches, aquamarine waters and warm breezes. As for the number of guests, is not a large centre - the word 'intimate' seems to fit, which suits me very well. Mornings, you will step barefoot from your comfortable beach-house onto the warm sand, out to the immense strand where you will walk miles without encountering another soul. Noontime, you will swim, kayak or just sit in the shade with a good novel. Evenings, you may enoy a rum cocktail as you observe the setting sun from the beach-shelter. The physical installations are timeless and fully integrated into the environment. The sand-garden is skillfully designed, using mostly indigenous succulents. The lodge, where meals are served, is a place of quiet evening consversation and collegiality. The lodge does not simulate authenticity - it defines it. It is reminisant of its origins - a 1930s Bone Fishing Camp - but with all the comforts and ammenities. Mealtime conversations with the founders/owners, and other guests, take you back into the rich island lore concerning its first inhabitants, its early settlers, and tales of more recent arrivals. The ABC staff are exceptionally kind, generious and efficient. They are fully committed to ensuring your stay is as pleasureable and relaxed possible: whether it be by preparing and serving delicioius meals, ensuring your housekeeping needs are met or teaching you to snorkle or to scuba dive. At ABC, time seems to streach out to infinity - each day is a jewel. It is a place for a deep dive, both literally and metaphorically. It is one of earth's unique microcosms. I cannot recommend it too highly.
