This was a great spot to spend our one night in Nassau before flying to Eleuthera the next day. The B&B is well located and close to the airport. The views are absolutely beautiful and the whole atmosphere is laid back, friendly and welcoming. The staff was very helpful and I felt like I was staying with old friends. It's... More

Although we did not stay here as guests, we did have dinner here on two evenings. Colyn , our waiter could not have been more gracious. He really made us feel at home. The menu is limited, but I feel that it enables Chef Tony to devote more time to his culinary expertise ! The conch chowder is excellent, as... More

I am not sure I really understand the reviews on this place and I am starting to lose faith in being able to come to trip advisor to book based on reviews because this one in particular was so off. Maybe it depends on where your expectation are going in, but we have stayed at boutique, quaint hotels and B&B's... More

We didn't stay at the B & B, but wanted to be sure to go for a meal. We walked up from Compass Point where we were staying. I had read about the dog who will walk you to and from the beach, but that was from an old review. We walked what is a bit of a dodgy road... More

We had a lovely night here because the staff were helpful and the room was upgrades to a suite at no extra cost Our room was excellent and the hotel interesting as its cut into the rock. This could prove a problem with guest who can't carry their bags up the first set of stairs.

Having previously stayed at Wyndhams during airport layovers whilst travelling to the Out Islands, I was really doubting there was anywhere like this on New Providence. Anyone travelling away from the island is probably going to a peaceful destination...and the process of staying in monstrosities such as Wyndhams or any of the other hotels on the 'strip' is certainly a...

We loved this B&B. Perfect for a short getaway. We stayed on the top floor and the room was very large with great ocean breezes. Staff is wonderful and breakfast is cooked to order each morning. Insider tip: if you are looking for a great beach, head over to Clifton Heritage National Park and walk towards Flipper Beach or the... More

How can such a nice place with nice people and a great atmosphere disappoint? Its in a single word - Service. Face to face, personal service such as breakfast service or the servicing of rooms was perfect. Friendly people keen to see that their guests have the best experience that they can. How this aligns with water leaking through the... More

A very charming Bed and breakfast in Nassau close to the airport and snuggled on a high cliff overlooking the beautiful blue water of the Bahamas.If you are looking for a nice quiet resort away from the excitement and crowds of Atlantis this is the place.It is very close to many local restaurants and walking distance from Compass point beach...

My husband and I were looking for a less touristy Bahamas experience for a short 4 day getaway, and we came across ASTA Bed and Breakfast. We stayed in the Island View Room 5. There are things we loved about the place: the people, not far from Stuarts Cove diving, good Island and Ocean views from a cliff, and the... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
At the west end of New Providence lies an exquisite hideaway. A STONE'S THROW AWAY is perched on one of the highest elevations by the coast. Here our Guests can indulge in a rare panoramic view of Nassau 's land and sea. The scenery boasts the best of the island's natural wonders, from the native pine forest by Lake Killarney to the brim of the coral reefs that protect the glimmering beaches of west Nassau. The property was recently built to echo the traditions of an old Bahamian home: wood floors and wood ceilings, louvered shutters and a large wrap around porch bring the visitors back to a quieter time long ago when the music of the islands could be heard in the whispers of the trade winds. ... more   less
