Hi J.  Have never been to the out islands of the Bahamas but have always been intrigued with them.   How was the flight info?  (how difficult/easy is it to reach the islands?)  How did you find this place?  Any other properties close by?  Did you cook in or go to restaurants.

Thanks!

Thanks for your interest, Bonnie.  The flights are surprisingly easy.  Many of the out islands are served by at least two airlines (or they were the last time we looked), Continental and Lynx, both of which fly out of Ft. Lauderdale to Cat Island direct, meaning you don't have to navigate the (shudder) Miami airport or shuffle through Nassau.  Lynx is a little lax as far as schedules are concerned, but they maintain year-round flights.  We did find the flights a little expensive. 

We kind of stumbled on Cat Island and Greenwood.  We were looking for a specific combination of factors -- not too commercial (we avoid Nassau and even Harbour Island at all costs), affordable, diving facilities, quiet.  After some searching, we came up with Greenwood.  We really didn't know what to expect, but the experience was great.  Keep in mind that there is virtually no tourist infrastructure (from Greenwood, at least, eating outside of the resort would mean having a rental car, and even then there's not much out there).  And the resort is not luxurious, but extremely comfortable.  And it is simply one of the nicest stretches of beach I've seen in the Caribbean.  In my opinion, it makes the beaches of Anguilla look like crowded pocket beaches.
