We had an amazing week! The property is beautiful and clean with a nice private beach with chairs& umbrellas. Or swimming pool with plenty of comfortable seating and shade. The staff were very friendly and helpful! Our room was comfortable and spotless! Prefer this property to the huge resort. Easy walking distance to several great places to eat!

The hotel was well appointed, the staff was very friendly and the hotel was clean and comfortable. Both the breakfast anns the bar were great. After a week on a small private boat the robe and house slippers and hot bath were very refreshing. I will stay here again if I need a hotel in Nassau.
