“Felt Like A House Guest”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2012

Recently stayed 5 nights at Graycliff. A special experience. I felt as if I were a guest in someone's home. It is quiet and private. This place has character. I mean REAL character. It is within walking distance to the high street for shopping, restaurants, 2 blocks. I stayed in a room called Baillou which also had a comfortable and spacious sitting room. Serious a proper size sitting room that could seat 6 people with space to spare! Staying at Graycliff was not cheap but it was not ultra expensive either. If you are tired of cookie cutter room hotels, Graycliff is the place to stay. I was shown a couple of other rooms and none of them looked remotely the same. Stately but not uptight and stuffy. The pools are excellent and quiet, no kids running amok here! There is a cigar company on property to tour, and in addition to the high end Graycliff restaruant, there is a Brazilian churrascaria which was fantastic and tasty! The owners Enrico And AnnaMaria Garzaroli REALLY know food and anything that goes with it. You can even book classes at the Graycliff Culinary Academy. Oh, and they offer FREE wi-fi to its guests. How common is that. Highly recommended

Room Tip: check the pricing on the rooms Mandarino or Baillou, great and comfortable with balcony.

“Charming atmosphera also for non-smoking”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2012

Twice a year, before Christmast and at the begining of the summer time I spend some days in Nassau. Twice a year since 2009 I stayed at the Graycliff in Nassau. Graycliff is one of the more charming hotels in the Caribbean area. Unique. Excellent food, excelent wines, nice live music... Expensive, of course, but it is worth it. Enrico and Annamaría Garzaroli are experts in hospitality.
Another cheaper opcion for dinner is The Churrasquería, and its amazing meats.This is another restaurant run by them.
I do not smoke, but I love to smell the fresh tobacco leafs while Raul is rolling cigars every night. The atmosphear of this hotel is highly recommended!

“Charming and excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2011

We stayed 4 nights here. The room was wonderful. The staff was very responsive and took care of everything very quickly. The pool was just wonderful and very beautiful. The hotel is one block off the main strip in downtown so you can walk to everything, including the straw market, shops, restaurants, etc.

Some of the reviews mention the smoking, and it is true that you'll smell cigar smoke in the hallways on the side of the hotel that is above the cigar shop. We don't smoke, but we didn't find it that unpleasant and there was no smoke in our room at all.

The prices of the food in the restaurants are pricey, but so is every other nice restaurant on the island, plus this hotel is a very nice hotel so that is to be expected.

Overall I highly recommend it and would stay there again. Find out the nights that Pam is playing in the piano room... she is wonderful!

“Casual with elegant service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2011

I just returned from a 2 nite stay at the Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant. Two excellent dinners with the wine pairing selected by the proprietor himself, Enrico Garzaroli. I'm a foodie and appreciate the quality of the ingredients, presentation, taste of the meals I had there. After each dinner I enjoyed an excellent Graycliff cigar with a single malt scotch.

They have a great chef's table set up in their kitchen that I want to experience sometime. Instead of simply putting a table down in front of the "pass through "counter, they have set up a private cook station and tiled dining area inside the kitchen.

The Garzarolis are experts in two things: Hospitality and anything that goes into one's mouth: food, wine, spirits, cigars, and chocolate. If you want to get away to indulge your food and wine fantasies or cigar habit, the Graycliff is a great destination.

I experience it as a Jumbo B & B. I was treated like a guest in someone's home. Highly recommended.
