Flights
It is easiest to fly into Marsh Harbour (MHH), take a cab to the Albury Ferry Dock and then take a ferry to Hope Town. (There will be plenty of cabs outside the airport, and they know exactly where you’re going). There are flights to MHH that connect through Atlanta, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami on Delta and American Airlines. You will need your passport! The last Ferry to Hope Town is at 5:45pm on Thursday and 10:00pm on Friday, so please plan accordingly!
Hotels
We have blocks of rooms at each of the three above mentioned hotels.
Hope Town Harbour Lodge - http://www.hopetownlodge.com/. We will hold our wedding on the beach and the reception by the pool and restaurant area. If you plan to stay at there, call the reservation line (+1-242-366-0095) and let them know you are with the Robert Bailey-Kelsey Stroud Wedding. The prices on the website are different than prices we were quoted, so please call rather than book online. **As of 1/9/17 this room block is fully booked**
Hope Town Inn and Marina - http://www.hopetownmarina.com/. We will hold our Friday night rehearsal dinner/welcome party here and all are welcome. There will be a ferry pickup from the Harbour Lodge ferry dock starting at 6:00 pm on Friday, February 17 and will pick up guests every 5 minutes until all arrive to the Inn and Marina. Cocktails start at 6:15 pm and dinner will be served at 7:15 pm. We have a room block here so just give them a call (1-850-588-4855) to get the special rate. This hotel is located just across the harbor from the Saturday wedding venue site and they offer boat transportation to and from the wedding location.
Abaco Inn - http://www.abacoinn.com/ This hotel is located a little further down the island so you will need to rent a golf cart or plan on allowing a few minutes to reserve the hotel's complimentary van to shuttle you to the other locations. If you are staying at the Abaco Inn, please give them a call (1-800-468-8799) to reserve before January 15th as the block will be opened back up at that point. Guests may call or email Hope Town Cart Rentals to reserve a golf cart (+1 242-366-0064 or hopetowncartrentals@yahoo.com).
