We stayed at Tiamo for 4 nights and 5 days this past April, and I say with all honesty that we did not want to leave at the end of our week! I first heard about the resort in Islands magazine and checked out their website as a result. Everything I read, and all the pictures I saw, confirmed that this was a place I wanted to visit. My husband and I booked the trip to celebrate our second wedding anniversary.
All I can say is, Tiamo is a true slice of paradise. It was exactly what we expected based on the magazine article and the resort's website. They are exactly what they say they are. The location is just beautiful, the bungalows are adorable and very comfortable (not having AC was not an issue at all and I'm an AC Queen), the food was excellent and the service was outstanding. We snorkled, kayaked and sailed every day and truly relaxed for the first time in a very long time. We loved that there are no TVs or phones around. It was absolute bliss not listening to either one for a whole week.
We also met an amazing group of people during our stay. I've read other reviews about Tiamo where people complained about the 'family style' dining. I would have to guess that those folks just aren't sociable people. We really looked forward to the Happy Hours every day, and thoroughly enjoyed the long table at dinner. Every couple sat in a different place every night so it was a great way to really get to know everyone. The conversation was fantastic! I've also read reviews about issues with bugs. We did not have any problems at all. Each bungalow has mosquito spray and that's all you need. I'd even bought the highest rated DEET spray I could find in prep, but never used it. Maybe it has something to do with the time of year....I have no doubt that as it gets warmer, there will be more bugs. But if you use the spray, you're fine. And let's remember, you are on an island! To think that there wouldn't be bugs is ridiculous.
We did not get to meet Petagay or Bella as they were in Eleuthra at the time, but we did meet Mike. He joined us at the Happy Hours and at dinner and he was a hoot as well as a total sweetheart. We are most definitely going back next year and staying for a longer spell. I would recommend Tiamo for anyone who really wants to disconnect from the stress of every day life, for anyone who loves the ocean, nature and a laid back pace of life, island style.
