Bahamas Accommodations

Bahamas accommodations

Bahamas accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “The Islands of Song”.

Bahamas known for: pirate legends, white / pink sand beaches, conch, underground caverns, mangrove estuaries, Bahama Mama cocktails, watersports, sportfishing, swimming pigs

Located a few-hundred miles southeast of Florida, the Bahamas consists of 700 islands and 2,400 cay archipelagos. Bahamian waters are some of the world’s clearest (visibility approx. 200 feet below surface). Found on New Providence (island), Nassau is the Bahamas’ capital city. Several legendary pirates were once based in Nassau: Henry Every (Long Ben), Benjamin Hornigold (turncoat pirate hunter), Henry Jennings (turncoat pirate hunter), Edward Teach / Edward Thache Jr. (Blackbeard), Charles Vane, John Rackham (Calico Jack), Samuel Bellamy (Black Sam). Andros is the Bahamas largest island.

When traveling to the Bahamas there are some things to  keep in mind. English is the Bahamas’ primary language. It’s best to avoid swimming in the ocean at night (sharks). Local dialects include words such as “tings” (things) and “tanks” (thanks). Bahamas’ licensed taxis will have the word “Taxi” on the license plate. In addition to Lynden Pindling, 19 Bahamian airports provide international flights. Getting from New Providence (Nassau) to other Bahamian islands (ex. Andros) requires a domestic flight or ferry trip. A domestic flight from Nassau to Andros takes about 20 minutes. Direct flights to Andros are also possible from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Bahamas accommodations are some of the Caribbean’s best. Before we get to Bahamas accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Relocating from Hispaniola, the Taino people (South American) likely were the first to inhabit the Bahamas sometime around 500 AD. The “Lucayan” people (original Bahamians) numbered around 30,000 when Christopher Columbus (first known European to discover Bahamas) arrived circa 1492. Columbus likely made landfall on “San Salvador” island (locally known as Guanahani). Claiming this “New World” for the Crown of Castile, Columbus exchanged goods with local “Indians”. The 1494 “Treaty of Tordesillas” between Portugal and Castile saw Spain take official control of the Bahamas. Castile shipped native Lucayans back to Hispaniola as slaves (1513-1648), thus depleting the Bahamas’ population. Led by William Sayle, European “Eleutheran Adventurers” would settle on the Bahamas between 1646 and 1648. Seeking a place to worship God freely while establishing England’s claim to the Bahamas archipelago, Sayle settled on the island of “Segatoo” (later renamed Eleuthera after Greek word meaning “freedom”). King Charles II granted the islands to the “Lords Proprietors of the Carolinas” in 1670. From there the Golden Age of Piracy began. Juan de Alcon (Spanish corsair) raided “Charles Town” (later renamed Nassau) in 1684. In March, 1696 Henry Every (English pirate) anchored at Royal Island (off Eleuthera) captaining the ship Fancy. Having bribed then-governor Nicholas Trott with gold and silver, Avery established a safe-haven pirate base at Nassau. Under Benjamin Hornigold’s tutelage Edward Teach (Blackbeard) sought refuge in Nassau around that time. During the War of the Spanish Succession (1703) a joint Franco-Spanish expedition occupied Nassau briefly. Led by Hornigold, Nassau’s “Republic of Pirates” was established in 1713. Woodes Rogers (English sea captain, privateer & slave trader) was sent by the British crown to restore order in the Bahamas. George I’s “Kings Pardon” granted clemency to any pirate who agreed to forsake piracy by September 5, 1718. Many pirates (including Hornigold) agreed to the King’s Pardon and became “pirate hunters”. Others who disagreed such as Calico Jack and Charles Vane were ultimately gibbeted (hanged and left for public ridicule). Meanwhile Blackbeard was covertly killed in action (decapitated). Following the Golden Age of Piracy African slaves were brought to the Bahamas and made up the majority of the population until 1834 (slavery abolished). The Bahamas became an “independent Commonwealth realm” in 1973. From there tourism and offshore finance would help boost the local economy.

Home to over 400,000 “Bahamians”, the Bahamas is an island-country in the West Indies’ Lucayan Archipelago. The Bahamas official name is  “Commonwealth of The Bahamas”. Encompassing 500+ square miles of land and 100,000+ square miles of ocean, the Bahamas is actually one of the Americas’ wealthiest countries. The Bahamian Dollar keeps a 1-to-1 fixed exchange rate with the United States Dollar. Of the Bahama’s roughly 5.8 million annual visitors about 70% are cruise travelers. Mandated in the name of the King to defend the territory is the Royal Bahamas Defense Force (navy). The Islands of Song has official music known as Goombay (method of storytelling / dancing – tropical calypso style melody). Other musical style are Rake ‘n’ Scrape and Junkanoo. Flush with natural surroundings, the Bahamas is home to diverse wildlife including conch, flamingoes, sea turtles, Abaco parrots, Bahamian rock iguanas (vulnerable), Sandy Cay iguanas (critically endangered), dolphins, tiger sharks (Tiger Beach – hour boat ride from West End – local guide recommended if diving), Caribbean Reef Shark (endangered) and the famous Exumus “swimming” pigs. Hamilton’s Cave (inland – inhabited by Lucayans c. 500 AD) is the islands’ largest cave system, while mangroves (important ecosystems) are found in shallow waters throughout the islands. Characterized by a tropical-Savannah climate, the Bahamas enjoys high temperatures throughout the year (ranging 77-90 °F). Peak hurricane season occurs August-September.

When traveling to Jamaica there are some things to keep in mind. Jamaica’s official language is English. Tourist areas generally are safe, though it’s wise to be vigilant even in Montego Bay (if in Kingston be extra-vigilant). When venturing outside of tourist areas (ex. nature) it’s recommended to hire a tour guide. Be sure not to flaunt jewelry or smartphones out in public. Jamaicans speak a dialect known as “patois” (ex. Weh yuh ah seh  – what are you saying?, Small up yuhself – make room, Mi deh yah – everything is okay, Mi soon come – I’ll be right there, Inna di morrows – I’ll see you tomorrow, Wah gwaan – what’s up?). Jamaica accommodations are some of the Caribbean’s best. Before we get to Jamaica accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Trelawney Town, the Chief Residence of the Maroons’, Unknown author

 

Humans likely have inhabited Jamaica since around 600 AD when the “Redware” people arrived. Following the Redwares the “Taíno” people (South American) settled on the island circa 800. Possibly numbering 60,000 at one point, the Taino would farm and fish in southern Jamaica (Old Harbour) for several centuries. The first European country to spot Jamaica was Spain, the first individual, Italian. On his second voyage to the Americas (1494), Christopher Columbus claimed the island for Spain. First spotting St. Ann’s Bay, Columbus referred to it as “Saint Gloria”. Almost a decade later Columbus returned to Jamaica but became shipwrecked. Columbus was forced to live on the island for about a year while awaiting rescue. The island’s first Spanish settlement (Sevilla – due-west of St. Ann’s Bay) was established by Juan de Esquivel in 1509. Deemed unhealthy, however, Sevilla was abandoned in 1524. About a decade later “Spanish Town” became the island’s new capital. Meanwhile the island’s Taino population perished in large numbers (disease, enslavement). Consequently Spain began importing African slaves. Many African slaves escaped and fled to the island’s mountainous interior, subsequently becoming known as “Maroons”. Jamaica’s population dwindled to around 3,000 by the early-17th century. The “Wars of the Three Kingdoms” saw Irish (indentured laborers) make up about two-thirds of the island’s white population by 1655. In the same year England invaded Jamaica. Following the 1657 “Battle of Ocho Rios” and 1658 “Battle of Rio Nuevo” (with Maroon support) England took control of Jamaica from Spain. Remaining Taino fled to interior regions to merge with Maroon communities. Spain made several attempts to recapture Jamaica. In turn Britain supported pirate attacks on Spanish ships in the Caribbean. A notorious pirate center would develop at Port Royal (mouth of Kingston Harbour). By 1660 Jamaica’s population reached about 6,000 (4,500 white & 1,500 black). The 1670 “Treaty of Madrid” gave England official control of Jamaica, and African slaves began working on English sugar cane plantations (becoming majority of population). During the 18th century sugar, coffee, cotton and indigo became important products, and slaves ran away to join the Maroons. A number of conflicts would arise such as the “Maroon” and “Tacky’s” Wars. The British abolished the slave trade in 1807, but not the institution itself. The 1831 “Baptist War” (Sam Sharp Rebellion) occurred between the Colony of Jamaica and slave rebels, which ultimately resulted in a suppressed rebellion. In 1872 Jamaica’s capital moved from Spanish Town to Kingston. Jamaica gained independence from Britain on August 6, 1962, albeit with a membership into the “Commonwealth of Nations”.

Home to around 2.8 million “Jamaicans”, Jamaica is the Caribbean’s third-largest island (4,240 square miles). Jamaica accommodates about 4.3 million annual visitors. About 77% of Jamrock’s demographic is “Afro-Jamaican”, while 70% is Christian (mostly Protestant). “Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy” (Jamaican government) means that a hereditary monarch (Great Britain) is Jamaica’s sovereign and head of state. A bioluminescent bay (glows at night when disturbed – dinoflagellate plankton), “Luminous Lagoon” is located in Montego Bay. Jamaica’s national bird is the red-billed streamertail (hummingbird). Other diverse wildlife includes Jamaican boas, Jamaican hutias (endangered, rat-like), fig-eating bats, wild boars, mongoose, American crocodiles, black-billed parrots, Jamaican blackbirds, Greater flamingos, treefrogs, Jamaican sliders (freshwater turtles), Jamaican parrotfish, dolphins and manatees. Characterized by a tropical climate, Jamaica experiences hot and humid weather throughout the year (coastline – inland more temperate). Hurricanes are possible.

English is the Cayman Island’s official language. Relative to other Caribbean destinations the Caymans tend to be more expensive and laid-back. Located in Grand Cayman’s North Sound, Stingray City is a series of shallow sandbars (home to southern stingrays). Snorkelers may encounter and swim with stingrays at the secluded Stingray City (accessible by boat). Prior to snorkeling in places such as Rum Point be sure to remove (or not wear) jewelry, as a barracuda could mistake its shine for baitfish. Of course in Cayman Islands sandals and sunscreen are essential items. Cayman Islands accommodations are some of the Caribbean’s best. Before we get to Cayman Islands accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Cayman Islands likely was uninhabited prior to European arrival. Christopher Columbus (final voyage to the Americas) probably was the first European to observe the islands on May 10, 1503. Columbus named the new islands “Las Tortugas” after the large sea turtle population (almost hunted to extinction after publicity) he had spotted on Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Hunted locally to extinction, “caimans” (alligatoroid) were also present on the island at one time and inspired the islands’ modern name. No immediate colonization ensued following Columbus’ sighting. Sir Francis Drake sailed through the area briefly circa 1586. Subsequently a variety of individuals would find themselves on the islands (pirates, Oliver Cromwell deserters, shipwrecked sailors), with some literally washing ashore. Legendary pirate “Blackbeard” (Edward Teach – 1680-1718) was known to operate in Cayman Islands waters. As pirate lore goes, Blackbeard buried treasure in one of Cayman Brac’s 170+ caves (littoral limestone caverns), which has allegedly never been found. Isaac Bodden (first permanent inhabitant) was born on Grand Cayman sometime around 1661. Bodden was the grandson of an original settler who was likely a Cromwell deserter (British capture of Jamaica from Spain c. 1655). The 1670 “Treaty of Madrid” saw England take control of the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. A permanent, English-speaking settlement would develop in the Cayman Islands during the 1730s. Robert Hunter (Scottish colonial administrator / governor of Jamaica) introduced slaves to the islands around this time. On February 8, 1794 the “Wreck of the Ten Sail” occurred on the East End, causing a shipwreck. Caymanians helped rescue crews from ten merchant ships (including HMS Convert). The islands’ first census (1802) tallied 933 (Grand Cayman – 545 of which slaves). Slavery was abolished in the Cayman Islands by way of the 1833 “British Parliament’s Slavery Abolition Act”. A “dependency of the Crown Colony of Jamaica”, “Cayman Islands” was officially declared on June 22, 1863. Cayman Islands would become a “separate Crown colony” following Jamaica’s independence from a “Commonwealth realm”. Owen Roberts International Airport opened in 1952. From there the tourism industry would help bolster the local economy. Jamaica’s independence (1962) saw the Cayman Islands fall under direct British rule (though the islands historically have been a tax-exempt territory). In 1972 a new constitution was written, with the Cayman Islands being granted a large degree of internal autonomy. 2 deaths and $4.61 billion in damages occurred on Cayman Islands as a consequence of Hurricane Ivan (September 11, 2004).

Home to around 88,000 “Caymanians”, Cayman Islands is the largest (by population) self-governing British Overseas Territory. Tourism and shipping are top economic contributors. Caymanians (& Cayman Islands companies) enjoy zero direct taxation, while financial institutions (hedge funds) utilize the Caymans for its tax / regulatory-friendly offshore funding. George Town (capital) is inhabited by almost half the islands’ population (around 40,000). About 70% of islanders identify as Christian. Lacking full political independence / sovereignty, the Cayman islands is a “parliamentary dependency under a constitutional monarchy”. Over 100 square miles in total area, the territory is part of the Western Caribbean zone and Greater Antilles. Found on the North Side / North Sound, Rum Point is named after rum barrels that once washed-up along its shoreline. The middle-sized Cayman Brac is home to a 140-foot limestone bluff (Blackbeard’s treasure?). Cayman Islands is characterized by a tropical wet / dry climate, with high temperatures remaining in the 80s °F throughout the year. Wet season occurs September-October, and hurricane season June-November. Direct hurricane hits are rare but possible.
