Tiamo Resort

We loved Tiamo! We were there for a week mid-January 2025. It was the perfect place to relax. Perhaps the best attribute of Tiamo is the attitude of every single staff member. From the kid who cleaned our pool every day to the general manager. Their answer to any request was always, “Yes”. The food is outstanding! We are experienced travelers, and food is an important part of our travels. Each and every lunch and dinner presented some of the best, and beautifully plated, meals we’ve ever had. The seafood (fish, shrimp, lobster) is local and fresh. All is wonderful and perfectly cooked. The lamb was perhaps the best I’ve ever had. Great wines, too. We went bonefishing (successfully!), snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming in the ocean (and in our private pool and in the main lodge infinity pool). We spent a lot of time sitting by the ocean or the pool with a beer in one hand and a book in the other. Each villa feels as if it’s the only one on the island. The property is designed so that each villa is invisible from any of the others. Each villa has its own assigned beach chairs with an umbrella just feet from the ocean. The villas are not over-the-top showy luxurious. They are the perfect level of comfort to feel as if they belong in their setting. One of the other reviews complained about the bugs. Yes, there were no-se-ums; they were barely noticeable and not a problem. If you are really troubled by insects, take deet; do not rely on herbal concoctions. (As recently published, deet’s not bad for you; its bad rap is undeserved.) If you’re in a natural environment and there are no bugs, they’ve probably sprayed ‘way too much insecticide. Another reviewer complained that Tiamo did not have a high-end dive shop. Tiamo is not a diving destination. Diving can be arranged but it’s not a focus. If you are an avid diver (I once was), you belong on a liveaboard. Snorkeling was good; there were thousands of colorful fish. Sharks and barracuda, too. Blue holes are common on the reefs; they are connected (this is karst geology). Tiamo is not an adventure destination. It’s a place to relax that offers the perfect level of activity. We highly recommend Tiamo. BTW – don’t count on your US phone working in the Bahamas. Our AT&T phones had bars but were pretty useless. We bought a Jitney Mobile eSIM right away; it was cheap and worked well. If you’re connecting with one of the local air carriers to an island, give yourself lots of time. Same-day service seems to count as on time. One of our flights was 2 hours late; the other left 2 hours early.

perfect tropical experience for me and my family, very nice food, incredible surroundings and very nice staff from the hotel.

This resort on this secluded island is gorgeous. We took two planes, a car and a boat to get to Andros. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. They went above and beyond for anything we asked or needed. The villas were clean and spacious. I've never seen water so beautiful. Water activities were great. Snorkeling was phenomenal. Biggest negative were the sand flies. We look and feel like we have chicken pox. We used the oils supplied by the resort and brought deet. Nothing worked. Unfortunately for me, the sand flies ruined an almost perfect romantic trip. I'm sad to say, I would not return because of the sand flies.

This is a fantastic resort for someone that wants a remote and secluded luxury location. The staff (Victor, Fred, Antoine) are fantastic, welcoming, efficient, and always ready to help. The food is delicious and innovative. Snorkeling at the many blue holes, caves, and island was marvelous. The rooms/villas are comfortable and private. The only significant downside are the insects. The main times they are an issue are at sunset and meals. We wore long pants and socks to avoid getting bit and this mostly solved the issue for us. Again, a fantastic resort that is a bargain compared to other alternatives at the same level.

This place is literally one of the most gorgeous spots in the world. You are secluded on a white sand paradise with exceptional sea life, no noise, limited guests, and the most wonderful snorkel, dive, and fishing guides. And five star food. It’s absolute paradise. BUT. And this is a big but. The bugs. They are horrible. And we did our research and read other reviews of travelers saying the same thing so we even came prepared. We brought extra strength deet spray and an actual mosquito repelling device. The issue is nothing worked. And the “no see ums” are everywhere. On the beach, in the sand, in your room, at dinner. We did everything the hotel told us to do, including wearing oil and the bug sprayed and nothing worked. The 2nd night I was up all night itching and having a panic attack. This was our “babymoon” so we were beyond excited for the experience but we ended up actually cutting the trip short because we were both covered, head to toe, in bites. And me being pregnant, it just wasn’t a smart idea for me to continue to stay and get eaten alive. The resort only refunded us one of the two nights we lost, which was a bummer. We clearly would not have cut our vacation short otherwise but we had no choice! So long story short, if bugs don’t bother you, this is absolute paradise and a must visit. But if you’re sensitive, you’ll want to pick another island (because it happens at other resorts on the same island FYI)

TIAMO was a fantastic resort. The grounds were beautiful. The three-bedroom home we stayed in was really beautiful. The food breakfast lunch and dinner was delicious. The staff was really amazing. Super fun and paid attention to every detail. We went fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding. Relax by the pool and by the ocean. One of the best family vacations we’ve had in years. Highly recommend it. Thanks again to the staff for making our vacation so great
