Secret Harbour Beach Resort
Hotel Information: Intimate, quiet, and barefoot-casual, Secret Harbour Beach Resort attracts vacationers seeking spacious accommodations and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Long-time staff members know guests' names, and regulars are treated as family.
Amenity highlights: Nazareth Bay has a 200-yard beach furnished with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and hammocks. Snorkeling sites lie at one end of the bay, with rental snorkeling gear available. A dive center offers wreck, reef, and wall dives as well as scuba instruction/certification. On a hillside above the beach is a 70-foot-long pool with an unheated jetted section. The pool's sundeck offers panoramic views of the sea.
Insider tip: A rustic pier jutting into the bay, with a flower-arch on the end, serves as the resort's most popular wedding site.
