Was there this last April 2012 and had a wonderful stay. Great location for walking into Downtown Nassau, right around the corner and to shop, go to restaurants and just browse around. Cruise ships dock right there so it was fun to see them leave. The beach and water was incredible and the beach bar on premises was very good.... More

My story's a little long-winded, so for a quick summary scroll to the end... My significant other and I are long-distance, so he planned to fly down to my city and then we would meet up at his connecting flight to the Bahamas. His flight was delayed, and ended up missing our connecting flight, which had me incredibly distressed. We... More

The Hilton British Colonial has the perfect location in Nassau. Close to restaurants, shops and historical buildings. You can use the small beach with view to the cruise harbor, Junkanoo public beach at walking distance or also go to Paradise island at also walking distance (about 40min walking). Service is good (services in Jamaican and Dominican resorts are a lot... More

My wife & I were looking for an "easy to get to location" for a four day stay. Though we found Nassau (including Paradise Island) wanting of charm, the British Colonial retained an attractiveness that Henry Flagler conceived in the early 20th century. It has been updated for the 21st century business person, couples & families. The beach is good... More

We were at the BCH on May 18, 2012, and were passengers on Carnival's Ecstacy. We had booked the pass in advance and picked up when we got to the hotel. The beach, pool, loungers, beds, etc were all very nice. I wish they had the large pillows for the large lounge beds out on the beach, but they didn't.... More

This property is located near the docks so you can see the cruise ships come in and pull out. You'll get some really great views of some really great ships. The beach is small and private and very clean. If you want to walk up and down the beach and see other properties, then this is not the property for... More

I wasn't very impressed with a weekend stay here. My girlfriend and I arrived Friday afternoon and stayed until Monday evening. I booked the hotel through a third party website and got a subtotal of $477.00 and an extra line item (taxes and fees) for $90.00 bringing the total to $567.00 for three nights. The problems started at breakfast. The... More
