26 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN APRIL 2021 Sallah acknowledges, “I got here a month after Dorian and it’s been fun to see guests come back, several boaters have returned recently and there are a ton of homeowners on the island that have come to work on their home and they’re so happy to see the staff back at work.” Among its many exceptional attributes, the resort offers two outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, and volleyball courts. All guestrooms are beautifully furnished and have gorgeous views with private terraces or balconies. Guests are invited to satisfy their appetites at two restaurants, and a bistro that plans to launch in the next few weeks. It will be a new fine dining experience for guests, locals, and second home owners on the island. The Chefs are testing the equipment and they are excited to welcome guests. There is also a poolside bar and restaurant that is more casual, called the Terrace at Marinaville Poolside Bar. Sallah knows it’s important to have a wide guests comfortable, knowing they can come here and be safe.” The Bahamas is open for business during the pandemic and visitors only need to have a negative COVID-19 test within five days of travel and to apply for a health travel visa. “One of the blessings is that the Bahamas has no quarantine,” Sallah explains. “The visa gives more piece of mind because that’s what everyone wants when they are going to travel right now– peace of mind and safety. We wrote our protocols for the property and we achieved a clean and pristine seal from the Ministry of Tourism.” The Abaco Beach Resort has built an enviable reputation over the years, thanks to its many valued repeat guests. Ensuring that each guest has the best experience in every way is key to the resort’s continued success. Part of that is the updated technology at the marina, which features Wi-Fi and a new fuel dock that was one of the first to open after Hurricane Dorian.
