Whale Point Hotel
aka
The Castle
4 days, 3 nights...not enough time to take in this beauty.
Like the saying goes, "third time's a charm".
I have made two trips to Eleuthera prior to this one but they were both Governor General's Youth Award (GGYA) trips (hiking and camping) so I didn't get to see much of the island outside of the expedition route. Fortunately, on my third trip I ditched my tent and stayed at "The Castle" as the locals refer to it.
The views from the balcony are amazing. The sound of the waves crashing onto the cliffside will soothe and calm you. There is also a pool that, from the right angle, connects with the ocean and looks like you're in an infinity pool.
On the first morning there, I set my alarm to wake up in time to see the sunrise. I imagined it would be beautiful to see the sun rise up out of the ocean and I was not disappointed. Take a look.
I followed the pathway to the cliffside to get a better view and it was breath taking. It was a great morning walk. I packed OFF insect repellent but I didn't need use it and I was very surprised.
Later that morning I took a swim in the pool. I did not want to get out, the water was warmed by the sun, it was great. I took lots of sunscreen so we were all well protected.
This was a great trip. I enjoyed each day. A well needed staycation.

We stayed in a two storey 2 bedroom 2 bath villa with a full kitchen, tv, internet and AC. I was told that this hidden gem has been around from the 80s, it is still beautiful and standing firm.
