Turquoise waters, pristine island beaches, a snorkeler's paradise on Elbow Cay. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/Bahamas/hopetownlodge/hotel/619/15/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Mon, 6 Oct 2008 11:49:56 EST The Hope Town Harbour Lodge is the only hotel in Abaco located within 30 feet of a live coral reef, making us a snorkelers and beach lovers paradise. Ideally situated on a beautiful 2-mile Atlantic Ocean beach, our tropically landscaped acres extend from Hope Town Harbour to the ocean. Guests delight in walking out of their rooms, through the garden - pool area, for a swim over a live coral reef. Here you may see Brain and Elkhorn corals, seafans, reef fish of all sizes and descriptions, and even an occasional dolphin or turtle between the reef and beach at high tide. Enjoy a relaxing breakfast on our terrace overlooking yachts of all descriptions moored in the harbour. Lunch is served next to our fresh water pool overlooking a white sand ocean beach. Sip a frosty Pina Colada at our reef bar after snorkeling on our protected live coral reef. Treat your palate to Lobster Fettucini or Grouper Royale in our elegant, yet casual, dining room. Also enjoy a wide variety of other restaurants on the island. AMENITIES: ACTIVITIES: The Hope Town Harbour Lodge is ideally located in the heart of Hope Town, Elbow Cay.
