Hope Town Inn and Marina

I showed you pictures of the other marina at which we had planned to stay in Marsh Harbour but I haven't shown you the place in which we have now elected to stay.


Starting at our assigned slip, which we will likely move from to get a longer finger, this view looks across to the offices and facilities building.  The waterway is used by the marina shuttle which runs all day to ferry residents across to Hope Town village.  The marina itself is across the bay and is effectively isolated on a peninsula which makes it very secure.



The view above looks to Starboard from Dream Weaver and shows the bar, residences and pool area.  Below, a little further to the right, you can see the Hope Town lighthouse and new residences being built and almost finished.





Looking back along our finger, Hope Town is in the background across a bay crowded with boats on moorings.



The pool is not heated and very refreshing on a hot Abaco day.  That's Jo chatting to Cheryl from Live Wire, a boat that passed us en route down the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway last November.



Me taking a rest from my strenuous photographic exercises after a quick dip in the pool.



The pool has a swim-up bar area.


The resort has numerous features where you can look out over the harbour or surrounding areas.  It is dotted with cottages and rooms that can be rented on a short or long term basis.

Every part of the resort is new and clean.  The service is excellent and Hope Town has most things we need from day-to-day.  Marsh Harbour is a 20 minute ferry ride for $27 round trip for the other things not available here.

This is why we elected to stay here.

Thanks for leaving a comment. I have tried to reply to many but for some reason I can't. So please don't be offended if it seems I am ignoring you!
