If you're considering an eco-resort, here are some points to ponder about the ultra-isolated Tiamo in the Bahamas:

• The island is 35 miles wide with a population of approximately 2,000.
  
• There are just 11 bungalows at Tiamo Resort and it's located on a part of the island only accessible by boat.
  
• A natural well supplies all water for drinking, cleaning and cooking — and the entire resort uses only 250 gallons of water per day compared with the average U.S. household, which uses 350. The water is heated by solar heaters and is still hot enough to melt PVC pipes.
  
• The tourist attraction "crack" on the island is a geological fissure created underwater in the limestone.
  
• The best weather at South Andros is March-May or November-December.
  
• Tiamo Resorts is known for its world-class cuisine. All meals are prepared with local ingredients.
