The 31-room Sunrise Resort & Marina is a small-scale, budget property next to its private 70-slip marina. The simple, island-style rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable, with TVs, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, free toiletries, and water views. There’s also a freshwater pool, a sports room, and free loaner bikes. It’s around a 10-minute walk to a mini-market, some eateries, and a bar -- handy, given the resort’s restaurant is now closed. Sunrise suits travelers seeking serenity over nightlife and excitement, but those looking for a property with an on-site restaurant may want to try the Bell Channel Inn instead.

Opened in 2015, this upscale, ocean-view Hilton has loads of on-site amenities, most of which it shares with Resorts World Bimini’s condo complex -- think multiple pools and eateries, a marina, spa, and casino. The 305 rooms are gorgeous and contemporary, featuring swish marble bathrooms, serene decor, bathrobes, and furnished outdoor spaces. Free Wi-Fi is also provided. Some have ocean vistas or open to the lazy river. Food is largely well-reviewed though considered a bit pricey. Families and couples have ample features to keep busy, but be aware that some rooms requiring long walks to reach them. Also on the downside, some past guests have complained of service and maintenance issues. For something a bit more intimate and casual, consider the Bimini Big Game Club Resort and Casino.

This relaxed, family-friendly condo complex offers 32 units in central Eleuthera Island, close to the small village of Governor's Harbour. With friendly Dave at the helm, an owner who is rarely far away, the peaceful grounds stay as easygoing as the rest of the island, which is known for its naturally rugged and secluded beaches. Guests requiring typical hotel amenities should probably look elsewhere, but units are bright, clean, and cheery, and come with fully equipped kitchens with stainless steel appliances, spacious bathrooms, pull-out sofa beds, and stackable washer/dryers. Guests can start the day with fresh chocolate croissants from the on-site deli, and then hit the beach across the street, or nap the afternoon away on a lounge chair at the pool. Guests tend to use the kitchens for dinner, or watch the sunset from Tippy's -- a popular restaurant with a fun mix of locals and tourists.

Far, far removed from the crowds of Nassau is this 40-acre boutique resort on Eleuthera Island. This property, which opened in 2013, is a hot spot for celebs seeking privacy, and features a jaw-dropping infinity pool and cliffside bar sitting between two man-made, pink-sand beaches. Chic, airy rooms have white decor, and enormous villas with private plunge pools and state-of-the-art kitchens are on offer.

Cove Eleuthera is best suited for a four-day getaway -- anything longer and guests may get bored.
