The Tiamo Resort is so remote, that only one other couple found it and made arrangements during our stay. It felt as if we had an entire island just for ourselves. Fred, the manager picked us up at the harbor where the road from Congo Town ends.
The new chef from Argentina and his wife treated us with their wonderful creations. Both of them joined us on some of our snorkeling trips. Especially those to the blue holes are memorable. Fresh water is coming up from caverns deep under ground. This is how they fill up the Ocean. Not only are there a lot of coral, but also a plethora of fish, big and small, and some of them very colorful. We (the chef) caught a big lobster (his first), and for dinner we were able to enjoy a fantastic appetizer.
Before dinner we always had an aperitive served by the main lodge. Sometimes, it was early enough to enjoy the drink by the pool and sometimes we chose to sip it by the bar.
For lunch, we usually preferred to sit closer to the beach underneath the blue sails. These sails inspired us to put up our own sails in the backyard at home. It creates such a nice and cozy atmosphere even though we don't have a beach. That's why our sails are tan.
The water is calm and warm and because it's not that deep it presents itself in turquoise color as one would expect in the Bahamas. Isn't this one of the reasons why we come here. And yes, it is close and convenient also.
One of a new snorkel site site we visited is called "Swimming Pool". It started out as a harbor for the US Navy on an island just north of the tip of South Andros. The visibility was great and the water was calm. This pool is home to a lot of fish and a couple of turtles. We snorkeled the entire perimeter back and forth.
Even though we had our own plunge pool by our villa, the resort has a bigger one by the main lodge. We never took advantage, because we are here for the Ocean.
In front of the resort, the water is typically very calm and ideal for paddle boarding. Early in the morning we went an our daily kayak trip up or down the coast. Some of the sting rays were very big and one could easily spot them with our polarized glasses.
We had a great time and left early in the morning to catch a small plane from Congo Town back to Nassau and then back to the states.
