This was the single most spectacular location we’ve ever seen. Very tropical grounds. Water is gorgeous. Beaches are very private & beautiful. The food is a huge issue. Only one place to have dinner for two resorts & not only is the pricing exorbitant but food was terrible. Tip is included in everything so no incentive to work. Service is fair at best. Only place for breakfast too & it opens at 8:00. No tea or coffee till 8:30-8:45. Maintenance & cleanliness of bungalows is just acceptable. The one person we loved was Lynn at the trust bar. She was so friendly, went above & beyond & did an outstanding job. The day she was off NO ONE took her place & she came back to a mess. Peace & plenty beach bar was nice & we liked having lunch there. It closed at 4:45 so dinner there was out.

Navada the property manager helped us with everything during our stay. He was amazing. Also Ashva set up a very fun Kareoke night for us and they both made our stay very special. We will be coming back. The staff and everyone that worked at Kahari were super friendly. If you want a secluded island type feel. Kahari is the place

Gorgeous beach…everything else needs improvement
2 main problems…the food at the only dinner restaurant on the property Beacon was not good and very expensive. Many mishaps occurred…no room safe, no coffeemaker, ( even though listed as part of the room) no snorkel equipment even though we were promised it would be available when we made reservation. We spent a lot of time the first day trying to secure equipment for the rest of our stay. Staff is frequently not available. Gorgeous beach and lovely rustic cottages

A pretty picture can only go so far....
I have put this off for about as long as I can to allow for my emotions to cool off from the amount of money, time, vacation days from work, everything that was invested in this trip by choosing to vacation to Exuma and stay at Kahari resort. I strongly, strongly advise to not travel here if you are someone who is looking for service. Whether it be good or just decent would have been a little more tolerable. This place is desolate for service, care, or anything of that sort. On the first night there after +12hrs of travel, we were informed for my husband, myself, and our 3 yr old that would be not be able to eat dinner at the only restaurant on the resort due to no reservation made prior - even though they were aware of our check in many many days prior. I understand that they cannot contact everyone prior to arrival to ask about reservations if this is how they operate, but since this is how they operate be prepared to literally be turned away. We had to beg for food for our toddler because the $8 pringles in the mini bar was not going to cut it, trust me I tried. It was one challenge after the other with this place, once we were finally able to dine at the restaurant it was mediocre. Once we decided to venture into town realizing the staff at the resort don't care and don't want to be of any service truly, we still had to beg for a table for dinner at a local restaurant. Don't expect to order what you'd like either,tables next to you may be able to because they bribe

We loved our time at Kahari! We stayed in Villa 6, and it had the perfect view of the beach. There was a screened in wrap around porch where we could see the sunrise and sunset. The weather was perfect, and we kept our french doors open at night to listen to the ocean. The staff were amazing! Lamon, the manager was always there to answer any questions, and was very accommodating. Nicole was an excellent server in the restaurant, and Alvin and Crissy were the best bartenders at the Peace and Plenty beach bar. The water and beaches were perfect. We snorkeled right off the beach! We took the kayaks around the corner to Chat and Chill for their pig roast- delicious! We also kayaked past Chat and Chill to the blue hole/mystery cave for more diving. We will be back- one of our best vacations ever!

The property was beautiful and the views from the rooms were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay at Kahari, but there were a few things we weren’t necessarily aware of until a few days into our trip that I think would be valuable for other travelers. First: there are a ton of mosquitoes around in the morning and then starting around dusk— do NOT forget bug spray. Get it when you arrive to avoid having to go back to the main island to purchase. Second: food/drinks are expensive here. We had a good meal at the beacon, but were shocked at an almost $300 dinner bill. Same goes for cocktails (~$15 each). We went to the grocery store for snacks and alcohol the next day, and several travelers did the same, so plan for that. Third: everything closes down between 5-8pm every night. If you’re looking for nightlife (or even a bar open past 8) this is probably not the place for you. It was beautiful and soooo peaceful, but a few days into our stay we found ourselves growing a little bored in the evenings.

Response from Patrick Faas on 13 Jun 2022
Brooke, Thank you for your response an great insights on Exuma Live. It definitely is not a nightlife type of destination and more like a private island feel. we are currently in the wet season and the mosquitos are quite active this time of year. I hope you were still able to enjoy the spacious screened in porches. You will find that food is expensive throughout the islands as everything is flown in or transported by boat. With the current gas prices all of the basic needs have drastically increased and unfortunately it shows in the food and drink prices. We really hope that outside of this you enjoyed your time here and were able to decompress. Thank you for staying with us as we look forward to having back again soon ~

The property sits on a island that has beautiful views of the ocean. The cottages are very unique and spacious. The staff is very helpful, courteous and helpful. The customer service is exceptional. The chef for the restaurant (The Beacon) is a 5 Star chef. The food was top of the line, so we ate dinner their every night. I would recommend spending time at this resort, we will be coming back here soon

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The location and grounds were beautiful. The limited number of rooms made the resort feel more private. We often felt we had the place to ourselves. The water was crystal clear and gorgeous. The only issue we had was the staff were sometimes hard to find and slow to respond to requests for help setting up activities. We tried to set up excursions and rentals while at the resort. My suggestion would be to organize these prior to arrival.

Culinary paradise with virgin beaches
Our expectations were exceeded! Especially the food by Executive Chef "Fritz" was outstanding. We were surprised how fresh all ingredients were and how creative Fritz is, even more so given the small island/jewel. The beaches (turquoise colors and fine sand) and the beach club are unique. Great food and best "Strawberry Mango Twister" cocktail in the world (no exaggeration). The resort is well maintained and the staff very friendly. We'll come back.

The view from the bungalow was amazing. We really enjoyed the screened in sitting area being only steps away from the water. The resort was always short on towels. You would think that a beach resort with a pool should have ample towels. Also since there is no way to get breakfast on the island, I would have liked a coffee pot. The single cup at a time was only good if they would have left more k-cups in the room each day. It would have been nice if there was a mirror in the room. The only mirror was in the bathroom and it was quite small.

Very well-designed with good landscaping. Accommodation is far superior the most in the Bahamas. Good swimming beach. The food is spectacular. The reverse osmosis water his safe and fine to drink. Power is solar electric. Wi-Fi is fast and easy to operate. Because of the Wi-Fi, there is no need to pay for international phone calls if one uses WhatsApp on the internet. Although the bungalows are virtually bug-proof, you will need bug spray for the evening walk to and from the dining room. The gym is well equipped.

Pros: Beautiful property on Stocking Island; Beautiful beach. When available, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Desmond, in particular, was a life-saver. The villas are well designed with all having screened in porches to keep out mosquitos. Cons: Stocking Island is isolated. There are no roads or paths to anything from Lumina Point. Stop in George Town for groceries. Read below: No services available before 8 am. The phone system was down which did not matter as there are NO STAFF on the property before 8 am. We were fortunate enough to obtain the number of the supervisor who was able to assist with travel arrangements. Limited services available from 4-10 pm. By limited, I mean you can go the restaurant after 6 pm. After 4 pm, the property seems abandoned. The concierge is essentially a non existent position. She did greet us with customary complimentary drinks at the dock, but that was the extent of her helpfulness. We tried to go through her to arrange numerous activities (boat rental, fishing trip, spa), but she never followed up with us. Thankfully, we were able to make this arrangements ourselves. As the phone lines were down, we were given vhf radios to contact concierge from 8am to 4pm-after 4pm we were advised to "just go find somebody". Just for fun, I tried to contact someone on the vhf radio everyday several times a day, but I never received a response.
