    I'm from New Providence and would have love to find some boil or stew fish for breakfast. However the restaurant service was on point.

    The staff were so accommodating warm and friendly. Gabby Sexi Dezi, Taija, Captain AJ, the chef was excellent can't remember her name and most impressive Shenika who decorated our room. My honey and I were celebrating 22yrs of Love.

    Just be aware that the restaurant is closed on Sundays (as everything else on the island). However, our breakfast at the Yacht Club that day was kindly compensated. The hot tub wasn't functioning.

    Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were greeted at the airport and taken on a complimentary tour of the island. In close proximity to the airport. Very comfortable bed. Beautiful common areas.

    We requested someone to meet us at the airport upon arrival (we didn't realize how close it was), but no one was there. Some updating of the accommodations would improve things (repair leaking window in the dining area, replace / repair air conditioners so that they work properly and don't leak massive amounts of condensation into the room). The kitchen could be more thoroughly fitted and with newer items (very old pots and pans, limited cutlery / dishes)

    We appreciated the warm welcome, the assistance with trying to arrange excursions, and having our own little house during our stay. Also the convenient location next to the airport enabled us to walk between the two (even with luggage). The accommodation was neatly prepared, with plenty of extra towels for pool, etc. The receptionist also provided advice about places to visit on the island.

    The rooms were old but were comprable for the price that we paid. The bed was old and sinking in. There was a party on the property that went on until 2:30 in the morning for two days. It was difficult to sleep listening to that all night.

    Breakfast was included and was delicious but you have to remember your on island time so don't be in a hurry to get it. The staff was very nice and let us keep the golf cart the last day so that we didn't have to walk to the airport in the rain. Sometimes the staff would not be in the office but when they were, they were very accommodating.

    Some of the plates and pots and pans were showing a bit of wear. The furniture could use some updating, as well. There really wasn't much we didn't like.

    A gorgeous island paradise. The staff were friendly, helpful and kind. We had a fantastic time at Embrace Resort. Our accommodations we very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and exploring the island. The staff work hard to make your stay enjoyable. Shout out to Nikki, Tajia, Gabby, Dexi, Dee, Davanta and all the other staffers and workers. Make sure you take an excursion to see several great places in the area. Captain K was the best!! The pool was clean and refreshing.

    We spent 4 nights at Embrace for my daughter's 18th birthday and had a lovely time! Gabbi and her sisters took great care of us. Our cottage (Exuma) was well-appointed (and reasonably priced given the space of two bedrooms, large upstairs living room and full kitchen and dining space, and two decks upstairs and downstairs overlooking the small pool). Plenty of movies for us to watch on TV at night. A/C in every room is quiet and works great - but we did not need it downstairs, as nights were cool (April). Embrace has one of two actual restaurants on the island (the other being the Yacht Club) and serves from breakfast until 9pm, which was a great boon for us, given that stores close at 5:30pm and several other advertised restaurants do not seem to actually exist or else are never open. Gabbi also rented us a golf cart which was very useful for getting around the island. Embrace set up for us our excursion to Pig Beach, sandbar, snorkeling with sharks (my personal favorite), grotto (we skipped) and iguanas. Our boat captain (Captain Perry) is of good cheer and worked to make sure we had a good time at each stop. We had brought our own snorkel gear but Cap'n Perry had gear available to borrow in a pinch. We asked for a second trip back to Pig Beach, which Gabbi's sister set up for us (for a reasonable price even though we were the only ones on the boat). There were plenty of other options for excursions (to Land and Sea Park, for example) that Embrace would have arranged for us if we had the time. Basically, Cap'n Perry or Cap'n "Fishy" will take you wherever you want to go with a day's notice. All in all very positive experience. We would stay at Embrace again if we return to Staniel Cay.

    Noise form the airplanes but fortunately mostly in the mornings and evenings only. More glasses and other kitchen equipment in the rooms would be helpful.

    Hotel is very conveniently situated close to the airport and main attractions of Staniel Cay. Rooms are spacious and quite well equipped. There is a small pool and space to relax just opposite all villas. Breakfast were good and local restaurant served also lunch, dinner and drinks. Staff was very attentive and friendly. We would stay there again if we visit Staniel Cay in future.

    The bed was very uncomfortable and the resort is located right next to the airport which makes the mornings and afternoons (when there's flights in and outbound) very loud.

    The resort staff are friendly and try to help as best as they can. All the basics one needs are provided in the room.

    A couple more glasses to drink from in the room would have been useful.

    The ladies running the Embrace resort were all extremely helpful and friendly. Really made for a wonderful stay. We also loved the swimming pool - great to cool off in. And the food at the cafe was delicious, with a varied menu. The bed was also very comfortable. Staniel Cay is a very special place. And staying at the Embrace Resort was an absolutely fantastic experience for us.

    Staniel Cay is an amazing vacation destination due to close proximity of Thunderball Grotto, Iguana beach, Pig island and Compass Cay for Shark petting, AND the Embrace Resort is a really good choice. Rooms are more than adequate and having stayed there twice now and in 2 different villas I can reliably make that statement. Value is the real issue as we paid $30 USD for 2 coffees, and about the same price for 2 mixed drinks in the evening at the on site Cafe. Fortunately our breakfast was included in the booking so that was a substantial savings each day - and we dont go on vacation here to scrimp but it was just very high prices for some things. Same with Golf cart rental at $60/day - that is more than a car in many places! Do go see pirates beach! It is 10 minute easy walk from Embrace and is simply breathtaking. Also, if you have the time rent a boat and go to Little Farmers Cay 12NM to the South and enjoy Tys on the water, or venture to The Ocean Cabin for some great local food.
