I enjoyed staying here. Food is overpriced but you're walking distance from everything else which is worth it. You also get a private beach access. You're also right next to other 5 star resorts. I'd come back here.

I had an early morning meeting, so I picked up a sandwich and juice from the cafe, the night before and stored them in my refrigerator so I could meet my ride at 6:30 AM before breakfast was available. But the sandwich was fresh and tasty, and did the job. This hotel will definitely be my go-to place next time I am in Nassau.

Room and staff. Check-in took over 2.5 hours, with multiple room changes due to severe odors, dirty floors, and unclean bedding. Staff and management were disorganized, slow to respond, and failed to resolve the situation despite acknowledging the issues. Rooms assigned were not clean or suitable for staying, and communication between staff was poor (including double booking). Noise from plumbing during quiet hours also made the stay uncomfortable.
