    We were never informed that the breakfast buffet was included with our room; found out from a friend on the last day. We told the front desk 4 times that we did not have hot water, they said they would have maintenance fix it all 4 times, no one ever came to fix it.

    This newly renovated hotel was absolutely beautiful. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond to take care of our needs and make us comfortable. There was a delicious breakfast buffet included. The hotel is centrally located, has its own private beach and a nice pool area. I would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Nassau.

    Old style rooms with small windows, no balcony. Room was right next to elevators and there was lot of noise coming in all the time with elevator dings and people crowding outside. Limited dining options on property, no hot tub, quiet vibe not lively

    Friendly and helpful staff, central downtown location close to restaurants and straw market

    The pool bar was open the first day we arrived but was closed the remainder of our stay. On our last day, the beach was littered with rubbish. There was a beach attendant in the towel shack. The staff was hit or miss as far as friendliness or helpfulness. We had issues getting the restaurant on the phone to order food, ultimately we had to go down in person. We consulted the front desk as to the process of how breakfast was charged, as we were overcharged and had to correct it. The front desk attendant laughed and told us to watch out for them because the front desk couldn’t correct it later. I really felt like they were not really prepared to be open and have guests. We spoke to other tourist at an event we booked and their experiences were totally different from ours, but they stayed at different hotels and resorts.

    The location was good. The beach is sheltered by barrier island and private to the property.

    The shower doors are a deal breaker. If you are bigger than a pencil, good luck getting in and out of the shower. This was the worst part of the stay. The water also doesn’t get hot in the shower and it takes a. really long time to heat up.

    location is amazing

    They had a nice little beach but so does every hotel on the front Everything is overpriced in this hotel not go to value for money at all even if you are willing to spend it it is not worth it.

    Bad value for money Not worth the price poor food Same menu all day boring hotel you can’t get served in a restaurant at night if you want to sit outside you have to wait As they don’t have a lot of staff Takes ages to get your food. If you’re expecting a Hilton hotel this is not worth the money

    They have a lovely little beach but the deck chairs need replacing as they are old and broken again for a hotel that charges way over 300 per night it is not worth it at all don’t bother

    Not worth the money at all you can’t get served in the restaurant the menu is always the same they don’t have enough staff working I have never seen so many people eating McDonald’s because they can’t get food in the hotel poor quality for Hilton Hilton

    The water pressure and temperature of shower and bath were both really poor. Also for the price of the room we expected a better view and the inclusion of breakfast and better bathroom.

    I liked the location and the private beach. Also easy covid testing.

    Room had black mold in the bathroom. The room smelt musty and you could smell the mold. Made me sick from the mold. The shower door was broke. Only nice thing about the room was the Tv. The bed was ok except the mold on the headboard I had to clean before sleeping in the bed. The room wasn’t very clean. The room was warm even with the ac on max. For the price we paid for the room it wasn’t worth the cost. We have stayed at many of Hilton hotels. And this one was not at the level we are use to for being a Hilton honors member. The staff was very friendly and helpful. But overall not worth the price.

    Close to cruise ship
