Great Stirrup Cay

Great Stirrup Cay is a small island that is part of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. Norwegian Cruise Line purchased the island from the Belcher Oil Company in 1977 and developed it into a private island for their cruise ship passengers. The northern part of the island has a sandy beach surrounded by rocks with snorkeling areas. The southern part features a helicopter airfield (with a sign reading "Great Stirrup Cay International Airport"), a large area without vegetation, and numerous concrete blocks. These are all remnants of a previous U.S. military installation and satellite tracking station. The island's lighthouse was originally constructed in 1863 by the Imperial Lighthouse Service.

Great Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Little Stirrup Cay, Royal Caribbean Cruises' private island.

RIU Tequila Review

This was an excellent resort in Mexico. Lots of things to do and see. The resort is exactly what you see in there pictures. The staff was very friendly and the food was excellent and lots of it for everyone. I would give this a 5 star out of 5. It was all inclusive and you also got alcohol and pop in your room. You get 2 other resorts that you can visit and eat at also. Book your vacation...
