Beautiful Hotel and Great location. I would definitely recommend. I love the private beach and pool area. Only negative thing is that the food and drinks are very pricey and not many kid-friendly items on the menu. Our family enjoyed this hotel so much that we have re-booked.

Good place to stay in Nassau. Very walkable to attractions, the cruise port, beaches, shops, etc. Room was fine, staff were friendly. There were always plenty of seats at the pool and beach, and lots of towels available. Happy hour is great value at the Woods Rogers Tavern. They were a little loose with random authorizations on my credit card that they couldn't explain, but after I checked out, they never turned to charges so I didn't have to dispute anything.

Upon checking in the property looked to be nice and clean. It took awhile to check in as most of the time there was only one staff member working the desk. The staff weren't very friendly and it seemed as if you were bothering them any time you asked a question. The room was clean upon arrival. We needed additional towels since there weren't enough in the room and waited 4 hours with no towels brought to the room having to go to the desk and ask again. The next two days our room wasn't cleaned and no new lines brought even though I asked two times each day for someone to clean and bring towels. When they did clean our room nothing was actually cleaned with food still on counters along with sand on floor and counters, toilet and shower dirty. We checked out early due to this and ended up staying at another hotel for the remainder of our stay. The manager was very nice and not charging us an early check out fee due to this. Overall I wouldn't stay here again and would book Atlantis.

The hotel and property is beautiful. I especially enjoyed the pool area and beach. It was fun to watch the cruise ships go in and out. My favorite place to eat was the bar by the pool. The concierge arranged a wonderful boat ride to snorkel that was the highlight of our trip. Our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing.
