    The breakfast however, was underwhelming. The service took longer than expected and the cooked items tasted as if they used old grease.

    I think the staff was great! The rooms were clean, and the location was perfect being in the center of Nassau. It made it a great location to walk around downtown to see all the local spots.

    There’s not clear information on the extra fees you have to pay I.e taxes etc and I think there should be better options for a late checkout.

    Rooms were very comfortable and clean.

    Expensive - I paid over $3000 for six nights and was charged extra for parking and offered late checkout at $50 per hour - for such a large property and given we’d stayed so long, I wonder whether charging $50 really was necessary? This hotel allows charging to your room, sometimes my name was verified and sometimes it wasn’t. This made me check my bill in detail and I’m glad I did, because an $80 breakfast charge was made to my room that wasn’t me (in fact I’d already charged breakfast to my room that day).

    Good facilities Great location Parking available

    Terrible airconditiong. Stayed 5 nights and it is too hot! They had a motion sensor aircon so when you are sleeping, it stop. This is the most uncomfortable sleep I ever had travelling. You will not get a sleep coz every 2 hours you need to stand up to go to the bathroom to turn on the aircon again. Also, on the 3rd day they change the thermostat but you think it was fix. Nope! The 65 doesn’t even felt 65 but 73 so…totally did not enjoy my sleep there. Also, the damage deposit is hefty, so prepare for $1,000 or more for damage deposit in your credit card.

    Location is center The staff are amazing! The pool and the beach are proximity to the cruise ships. The ambiance is very nice and feel at home.

    The long wait to get into my room. There was a problem with Booking .com which did not secure the reservation. At the Hotel, I saw several persons, in the lobby who, like myself, had been waiting l very long time to be given a room.

    • Quadruple Room with Garden View
    • Stayed 5 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    Tha aircon is not really cold. 4 people in the room makes the night too warm and ac settings cannot be adjusted to 65. It is so uncomfortable and interrupted sleep overnight until few nights were cool because it rained. I told front desk to fix the setting but noone came to do it. There isn't garden view in our room, parking garage at the right and blocked view at the front. Puddle of water on the pathway at the swimming pool, too slippery and prone to accident.

    The hotel is newly renovated. It is somewhat new, environment and pool are nice and garden is well manicured, beach is nice and clean. Live music and fire dance on weekend. Buffet breakfast stub good for 2 persons included per room, however, extra guests is charged $10 per person must go all together as a group, otherwise, $35 per person will be charged if eating breakfast on different or separate time.

    Location in downtown Nassau is very touristy and filled with cruise passengers. We walked around a bit, but sadly the downtown area is not in the best shape. This was a great hotel for one night - not sure we’d spend a week here though.

    Gorgeous remodel! Lobby is impressive. Restaurants are designed beautifully. Good was great. Pool/beach is lovely, though you a right next to multiple cruise ships which dock and depart daily. It’s a busy place. Staff was friendly all around.

    View from room was of a carpark and skips full of rubbish - not what you expect on a paradise trip to the Bahamas! I don’t have such a view a home so certainly don’t want this on holiday! No full length mirror in the room Hidden charges were ridiculous- charged between $11-$13 per night for standard room cleaning each day, plus another approx $20 per night resort fee. Then tourism tax (this one is expected)

    Good location Nice pool and private beach Friendly staff Fabulous breakfast Comfy bed Big room

    Well they are just opening so not all restaurants are opened within the hotel as yet. They had a soft but accommodating opening.

    I loved the attentive, caring and hospitable staff. They ensured that my stay was going smoothly and availed themselves to any need that could be met. The location is ideal for entertainment, food or shopping. You can walk to each thing with ease even other eateries other than the hotel. Overall is accommodating, luxurious and most revitalizing .
