Caribbean Moment: On Cat Island, Finding a Classic Bahamas Beach

 

It’s about 150 square miles, but Cat Island in The Bahamas has less than 1,500 people. 

You don’t have to do the math to figure out that the beaches on Cat have built-in social distancing. 

And are there ever beaches. 

Cat Island remains one of the best-kept secrets in a destination that seems to teem with them; it’s a trip back in time, a voyage to another dimension, and a journey to one of the most beautiful places in the wider region. (It’s a bit of a theme across the Out Islands of The Bahamas).

And there is no more beautiful corner of Cat than Old Bight Beach on the southwest corner of the island, where you’ll find nearly fiver miles of marvelous white sand. 

It’s the kind of beach we could all use right now. And when The Bahamas opens back up, it should be right at the top of your list. 

For now, enjoy a virtual stroll on Old Bight Beach in the latest Caribbean Moment video.

Two Punta Cana Resorts “Exchange” Brands

 

AMResorts has “exchanged” brands at a pair of resorts in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. 

The company said the Now Larimar Punta Cana will reopen as the adults-only Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana.

What was the Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana will be rebranded as the Now Larima Punta Cana when it reopens.

Both of the two properties have recently undergone renovations last year to the tune of more than $30 million. 

And now the “new”, family-friendly Now Larimar Punta Cana is also undergoing some other upgrades, including the addition of a new lobby, a new swimming pool, a new Explorer’s Club and a new cafe, among other changes. 

“We are excited to make these changes to best serve our mutual clients. We look forward to hosting our mutual guests at the new Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana and Now Larimar Punta Cana,” AMResorts said in a statement.
