In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- All the resort’s hand-built wooden bungalows are similar, with wrap-around porches and simple rustic furnishings. If you’re in search of honeymoonish seclusion, number 10 is the one to go for, as it’s more isolated than the rest.
- Packing tips
- Insect repellent. Leave some space in your luggage so you can take home a bundle of plastic for recycling – Andros has no recycling facilities of its own.
- Also
- The resort also plays host to a number of giant iguanas, hummingbirds, nocturnal herons and other island wildlife, so be prepared for things to go bump in the night.
Food & drink
- Hotel restaurant
- The owners of Tiamo have striven to create a friendly, familial vibe, by encouraging resort guests to dine together on a long table by the lodge each evening. The ethically informed, seafood-heavy menu can also be served on a private table.
- Dress code
- Barefoot sophisticate.
- Top table
- If the communal dining practice proves a bit much, the card table in the corner can, in the swish of a tablecloth, become a candlelit romantic dining spot.
- Last orders
- All meals are served at the same time.
- Room service
- All meals can be served in your bungalow for a small fee.
- Hotel bar
- Prop up the main lodge bar with a glass of Bahamian Kalik beer or sip a cooling cocktail.
