A recent Forbes article by Larry Olmsted assessed how the Three Bees Harbour Island, Bahamas villa compound stays true to the genuine meaning of "all-inclusive." While many locations around the globe offer what they call all-inclusive deals, a true all-inclusive set-up is a rare gem, notes Jeff Bartel. Many resorts look to the finer things in life as supplementary aspects of a trip. So, massages, premium liquor, and many extracurricular water sports don't make the inclusive cut.

The Three Bees compound is extremely serious about luxury and inclusivity, acknowledges Jeff Bartel. Upon arrival, guests can put their wallets away without worry--unless they're reaching for tips, of course.

Three Bees at Harbour Island is an exclusive, full-service villa compound separated into three distinct accommodations--Villa Bee, the Beach Cottage and Bayside, with a total of 13 bedrooms. The lush compound holds a lengthy history as a hideaway for escapists. Busy bodies come to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Consequently, there are a very small amount of hotels. It's mainly filled with posh homes and happily loyal guests who come year after year.

Whichever abode guests may choose, the all-inclusive deal covers everything from the private beach "club," which consists of water skiing, banana boating, an inflatable trampoline and deep-sea fishing, to an indoor movie theater with 3,500 movie titles and a popcorn machine, to spa treatments and free-flowing champagne and food prepared by a private chef.

The Villa Bee is the compound's main home. Offering five bedrooms, outside living, and wide verandahs both upstairs and downstairs, the sprawl is a vacationer's masterpiece. Typically the accommodation of choice, it's also perfect for families with children, as it comes complete with a two-bedroom children's wing, and a large recreation and billiards room.

Perfect for honeymooners and nestled above Pink Sand Beach, Three Bees' intimate Beach Cottage is a secluded paradise, fit with two bedrooms, its own kitchen--with in-wall Miele espresso and coffee maker--and a large wrap-around terrace. Jeff Bartel notes that Pink Sand Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, spanning over three miles long.

On the opposing side stands the Bayside accommodation. While the lodging is more like a safari tent on the water than a hotel, it is surprisingly luxurious. With such proximity to the water, guests can enjoy the refreshing aroma of the ocean breeze.

As enticing as this offer sounds, Jeff Bartel explains that the pampering begins before the guests even board the plane to this tropic utopia. Three Bees sends advanced questionnaires regarding food likes and dislikes right to the doorsteps of their soon-to-be guests so staffs and chefs can be adequately prepared for their arrival. Service of this caliber comes at a price, but for those who can afford it, the experience is unconditionally priceless.
