Sorry to disagree, but IMHO, the cabanas are really not worth the extra $ you pay to rent one. Even if they were free, I wouldn't use one. The beach is great, the food is good, there is plenty of shade near the tree line, there are thousands of beach lounge chairs, bar service is probably better on the beach(every few minutes), a great offshore breeze, plenty of activities other than lounging around in a cabana. I have visited all the cruise company's private islands on our 25+ cruises over 20 years and this is the best island to explore, so why spend the whole day in a cabana?

We didn't have any problems w/ sand fleas. We walked down the road and back up the beach. The only critter we saw was a 3 ft. long snake sunning himself on the paved road.

We are just back from HMC last week. Only about 2/3 of the Cabanas were rented. Also, For the DSLR person, there were lockers to use on HMC. I didn't use them so I know nothing of the cost. We have now visited four Bahama private islands and this was the best! One more thing, There is plenty of shade near the beach.
