젬스 앳 파라다이스 리조트

Had a wonderful stay in a lovely upgraded room with one of the best views from our balcony. Hance was an amazing host, ensuring we always had what we needed, even helping with a flat tire on our car rental. To top it off we had an eco tour to visit the swimming pigs, snorkel and find fresh conch. Do not hesitate to book, this place and the people are a true gem.

I traveled to Long Island with my daughter, my closest friend and her son. I chose Gems based on TA reviews and it did not disappoint. The mini apartment was lovely and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The view is absolutely stunning, and the snorkeling from the beach to the left side was much better than expected. Saw tons of colorful fish and 3 rays! But the highlight of our visit was meeting and dealing with Hance…… who went above and beyond to help us during our trip. I had a minor mishap with the car I rented which upset me greatly. Not only did Hance reassure me, he took care of the repair involved. Cannot say enough good things about this property and its manager, Hance!! Hope to return!!

The setting is lovely. The private beach is accessed down a very short path, there’s a couple of loungers and chairs and some shade. There’s a bit of snorkelling about 20 yards from the beach. We had a top floor apartment, with a stunning view across the bay. (No lift 2 flights of stairs) There’s air on in the bedroom but we just kept the windows open, there’s a bit of noise from the cockerel but noth8ng to worry about, and no other noise. Kitchen has what you’d need to cater for yourself. We ate breakfast there and an evening meal. Both good. It’s quaint and might benefit from a bit of an update, but it’s beautifully clean. Would happily stay again. Hance was really helpful and sorted out our hire car flat battery when we had a problem. Couple of good restaurants in easy drivin* distance. 5 minutes. There’s a lovely beach called Galloways on the Caribbean side. Go out of drive, turn right, then left down Galloway road. Go along till you see beach straight ahead, but turn left over bridge instead and carry on carefully down increasingly broken road, carefully, it’s about 30 minutes careful drive from Gems. When you get to end don’t go over rickety bridge go right and park up. Tip passed on by other guests. Gems is in a good location for deadman’s cay, Gordon’s beach and deans blur hole.

My wife and I just returned from our stay at Gems at Paradise and we already can't wait to return. You would be hard-pressed to find someone more accommodating than our host, Hance. He went out of his way multiple times to make our stay more pleasant. We mentioned to him that we wanted to go snorkeling and he loaned us masks, snorkels, and flippers for the duration of our stay free of charge. He even used his truck to save us when our rental car got stuck in the sand! We were 20+ minutes away and he was there in 30. That's service! The resort is beautiful, has its own private beach, a chef, and endless breathtaking views. Our room was clean and well-appointed. Hance even upgraded us to a room with a full kitchen. If you're on the fence about visiting Long Island, Bahamas and Gems at Paradise Resort, do yourself a favor and book it!

Gems is a special place. This magical island jewel sits perched on the ridge overlooking stunning Lochabar Bay, Long Island. Each of the accommodations has unobstructed views of the bay and the plethora of sailboats entering, leaving, settling overnight. The multi-blues of Lochabar Bay are a sight to see, changing every day. Sunrise and sunset are stunning. Our accommodation - a top-floor condo with large balcony was spotlessly clean, decorated island-style with lovely fresh breezes in from the bay. From the moment we made contact with Shavonne by email when she answered our many questions promptly and fully, to our arrival at Gems to meet Hance, our on-site host, we were completely taken with this island paradise. Shavonne organised our car rental with Unique Wheels locally. Nothing was a problem to Hance on-site. He was so helpful with everything we wanted to do. Jennifer cooked a fresh breakfast for us on three days which set us up for our island adventures. While at the property all you want to do is look out at the bay. Its beauty is breathtaking, and so quiet. The only sounds are the waves lapping at the shore, the birds singing, and early morning rooster crowing! The property has beach chairs, towels, and kayaks for use by guests. Across the road from Gems there are two resident wild flamingos - we named them Fran and Fred! Some mornings they are joined by a flock of feeding flamingos who nestle in the water and then take off across the pond in a fantastic pink formation. It was a sight to see - totally awesome! Gems is truly an island paradise. Highly recommend this beautiful place on Long Island. We will return.

Had a an awesome stay at Gems. A beautiful, secluded location where everyone treats you like family and will take great care of you during your stay. The meal plan is super convenient as food can be hard to find around Clarence Town. This is a very cozy place and I will definitely be staying at Gems again next time I’m on Long Island!
