Tiamo Resort

Fred and his staff are super!

This is a wonderful resort to go to when you want to completely relax. The beach is very nice and very private. There are lots of activities to do. The food and service was top notch.

We loved Tiamo! We were there for a week mid-January 2025. It was the perfect place to relax. Perhaps the best attribute of Tiamo is the attitude of every single staff member. From the kid who cleaned our pool every day to the general manager. Their answer to any request was always, “Yes”. The food is outstanding! We are experienced travelers, and food is an important part of our travels. Each and every lunch and dinner presented some of the best, and beautifully plated, meals we’ve ever had. The seafood (fish, shrimp, lobster) is local and fresh. All is wonderful and perfectly cooked. The lamb was perhaps the best I’ve ever had. Great wines, too. We went bonefishing (successfully!), snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming in the ocean (and in our private pool and in the main lodge infinity pool). We spent a lot of time sitting by the ocean or the pool with a beer in one hand and a book in the other. Each villa feels as if it’s the only one on the island. The property is designed so that each villa is invisible from any of the others. Each villa has its own assigned beach chairs with an umbrella just feet from the ocean. The villas are not over-the-top showy luxurious. They are the perfect level of comfort to feel as if they belong in their setting. One of the other reviews complained about the bugs. Yes, there were no-se-ums; they were barely noticeable and not a problem. If you are really troubled by insects, take deet; do not rely on herbal concoctions. (As recently published, deet’s not bad for you; its bad rap is undeserved.) If you’re in a natural environment and there are no bugs, they’ve probably sprayed ‘way too much insecticide. Another reviewer complained that Tiamo did not have a high-end dive shop. Tiamo is not a diving destination. Diving can be arranged but it’s not a focus. If you are an avid diver (I once was), you belong on a liveaboard. Snorkeling was good; there were thousands of colorful fish. Sharks and barracuda, too. Blue holes are common on the reefs; they are connected (this is karst geology). Tiamo is not an adventure destination. It’s a place to relax that offers the perfect level of activity. We highly recommend Tiamo. BTW – don’t count on your US phone working in the Bahamas. Our AT&T phones had bars but were pretty useless. We bought a Jitney Mobile eSIM right away; it was cheap and worked well. If you’re connecting with one of the local air carriers to an island, give yourself lots of time. Same-day service seems to count as on time. One of our flights was 2 hours late; the other left 2 hours early.
