Very quaint, welcoming of children, and incredibly beautiful property. Staff is top notch and everyone from the fabulous front desk staff to the grounds keepers are helpful and quick with a smile. Bahamians seem to genuinely love children and our son got a lot of love during our stay. There are discussions on travel forums about the labor bureaucracy that enables a substandard service industry (making it impossible for management to fire bad employees, enforcing automatic gratuity which offers no incentive to provide excellent service, etc). We saw evidence of this at other establishments on the island, but that was not the case at compass point. Our service at compass point was on par with the best we've had at other resorts including those with better star ratings and much higher price tags.

Aside from superb service, the property is stunning. Situated right next to love Beach and with private access, you are spoiled with a vastly larger beach real estate than any Beach resort we've been to. And unlike those larger resorts, during our time in may we had the beach to ourselves. There literally were maybe one or two other people out on love Beach at a given time. Compass point has a small but clean pool and a 8 person hot tub that is open 24 hours. As far as facilities, there is a slightly overpriced restaurant, a modest gift shop with Sundries, a small Spa and a lovely dock extending out into the beautiful blue water. And that is about it for this 18-room resort.

So that brings me to the most important element of this Resort, it's size and vibe. Knowing the kind of trouble you are as critical to determining if this is the right lodging option for your family. If you are the kind of Travelers that are most interested in quiet, hands-off, European style service
