“Comfortable stay, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

We stayed at one of their villas during the Christmas week. The villa was nice, clean, well equipped and adequately spacious. We got every day maid service and she was great as well. The wired internet worked well inside the villa. Wifi was available around the pool and the common areas.

The location can't be beat. It's about a 5 minute walk from Atlantis as well as the beach. The ferry terminal is about a 3 minute walk. There's also a taxi stand near the ferry terminal and getting a taxi is just a matter of letting the front desk know. Very convenient.

The only thing to keep in mind is that if you plan on using the kitchen, you'd be better off arranging for things like salt, sugar, oil and dish soap ahead of time. The beds can be on the softer side so if you like more of a firm bed, you'd want to be aware of that.

Overall our stay at the bay view suites was very comfortable.

Room Tip: We stayed in villa 150 and it was very quiet.

“Great stay and location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

I recently stayed here for 6 nights as part of a vacation to the Bahamas. I had a 1BR Suite and loved it!

It was very big with a living room, kitchen, dining area and outdoor patio. With the grocery store just across the bridge in Nassau and up the hill, we saved hundreds by cooking our main meals. I imagine it's nearly impossible for a place like this to keep the kitchens stocked with pots, pans, cooking tools, etc. but this one was pretty good. I wished it had a colander for pasta but I managed. We were there in October so the temperatures were warm but not overly hot. The air conditioning worked very well, especially combined with the ceiling fans in the room. There was daily maid service, which carries a gratuity as part of the nightly fees that are very common now in the Bahamas, even at Atlantis with their already high prices.

Except for their proximity near the 10pm island fireworks show launch pad our first night, this place was very quiet and removed from the typical amusement-park liveliness of Paradise Island. The landscaping is beautiful and natural with three swimming pools. We enjoyed breakfast poolside one morning at the cafe and took advantage of the onsite sundries store for drinking water (you'll want to buy water in Nassau as the tap water is very high in minerals and tastes it.) The onsite laundry was also very welcomed after a few days of beach activities.

I'd definitely stay here again. The pricing was reasonable, the place was clean and included all we needed for a great vacation.

“Quiet, budget friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 23, 2012

Stayed for 6 nights in February 2012. Clean, spacious, air conditioned one bedroom suite. Kitchen has minimal cooking supplies but we made it work- better than paying a fortune for restaurant food elsewhere. We did eat at the hotel, and the poolside food was great! Used the pools and the tennis court. Loved the lush greenery surrounding the patios/pool areas. Very private and quiet. Would definitely stay there again to avoid the madness of Atlantis.

Room Tip: Lower level has private grassy area, upper floor just has shared balcony.

“Honeymoon review”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 13, 2012

Since I used these reviews to base my stay here, thought it be good to add my review after staying.
Let me first say I found the staff and manager(Alfred) and even security guard to be very nice and provided great customer service. Me and wife loved our stay here and the hotel we chose!

I loved the cleanliness of the rooms, privacy and the amazing garden scenery. We had a huge private backyard and the pools were really clean and fairly empty most of the time.
I also liked the fact they had all the cutery (plates, glasses etc) and a huge kitchen so you can properly dine in your own room. Only thing needed was dishwashing fluid. With the prices so high to eat out, it was a relief we could do this.

I'm very glad I stayed here instead of Atlantis which was like a children zoo with ridiculous high prices to eat out. We got to explore Atlantis but other attractions on the island as well without paying a bundle if we were to stay at the Atlantis hotels. Plus after 6pm practically everywhere is free to roam on Atlantis except going on the water rides...We got a day pass one day to go on the rides which was alright but nothing that special compared to other amusement water park rides that are half the price.

Only suggestions would be to upgrade the gym and prob tv satellite options. Also possibility of having a free or even discount shuttle to Atlantis once a day would be nice too.

p.s don't forget mosquito repellent, you will need it!

“Wonderful staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

Some of the best food on the island, breakfast and lunch. They are happy to wrap takeouts for a picnic. There is a small general store and laundry facilities. The security was TOPNOTCH and very helpful and informative. The location is fantastic and the rates are phenomenal! We were in the middle of everything and walked to the beach, the casino, the marina. The ferry boats are cheap and a great way to see Nassau and Paradise Island from the water. I recommend Fish Fry for food and Cable Beach for some of the most spectacular beachfront in the whole of the Caribbean. The best meal we had was at The Poop Deck just at the the foot of the bridge in Nassaau Harbor. The Pirate museum is worth the trip. If you can handle driving on the left, then I recommend renting a SMALL car.
