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.

This stay was acceptable. If you're looking for bells and whistles, go to Atlantis or Baha Mar...This place has the feel of a bed and breakfast. It is very old and needs some major renovation. The accommodations were OK, and the purpose was served. This was my 4th time in the Bahamas, so I didn't need to experience the vast resort stay again. I wanted quiet, and that is what I got. Pros - very quiet, excellent for couples, away from the crowds and massive tourist scene. Beautiful views of the ocean and nearby local spots to eat where you can be among the lovely natives. Cons - Old and outdated furniture. The sink faucet handles were missing. The food is awful. Breakfast is a few single-serve boxes of cereal, fruit, and toast. When we asked for hot food, the "chef" was annoyed, bringing out the worst eggs and bacon you've ever seen. The air conditioner unit in our room was leaking, and our ceiling fan was out of order. The TV worked, but we didn't have any cable or local channels, it came on, but we could not watch it. Overall, it was a decent experience. They should charge a bit less. It has the potential to be lovely. …

There is no beach. The picture doesn’t show the busy broken unsafe road you walk down to a main Highway!. When you get there, waves crash over the sea wall! No beach! There is nowhere to walk except on a dangerous highway to get anywhere. When the staff calls a cab, it’s $35. We walked to the bar and they called a cab and it was $10.

A charming Bahamas style hotel, rap around decking sitting high above the sea. The pool sits within a private tropical garden.Best of all is the special hospitality for every guest to enjoy. Restaurant chef prepares your dinner to order.

A beautiful setting and charming terrace plus an accommodating staff are the pros of this quiet hotel perched above the beach. The cons included no water, either hot or cold, from the cold water tap, a noisy ceiling fan which created flickering lights when turned on, bedside lamps with no bulbs, and a giant opening between the bedroom and bathroom, only great if you like to watch your partner shower, The Indian food was fine, but down the hill were better restaurants. Fortunately, we were only there for a brief layover.

Nice, small and cozy hotel with beautiful view of the island or ocean. The staff are friendly and close by, the pool area is serene. However at the nightly rate offered, the decor is dated with much-needed upgrades and room renovation, and the continental breakfast is average at best. At times it can be noisy (rooms upstairs and any activity in the lounge area) however it was a weekend well spent.

Initially when you arrive it seems beautiful, quite & peaceful. We stayed here two nights and both nights were woke up by whomever was staying above us, making loud noise. It sounded like they were moving furniture around. It was difficult to get someone at the front desk, we waiting 10+ mins and no one ever showed, no signs saying they were out or anything. Bed was hard and uncomfortable. Overall was not a pleasant stay.

The property is peaceful, tranquil, and very beautiful. We felt like we had the place to ourselves which was a welcome change from the large resorts like Atlantis and Baha Mar. The staff was friendly and accommodating too! Great Indian cuisine served at the terrace every night, and within walking distance to a great Oceanside locals conch shack. We will be back the next time we need to make a stopover In Nassau to get to the other islands.

I use this property for all business travel to Nassau and have always been very happy with the "outer island" feel of the personalized laid back but warm attitude of the owner and the staff. The addition of the Indian restaurant was a unique but very appropriate and now you don't need to leave the property to have a great meal (many folks come in from elsewhere to dine as well). Wonderful place to enjoy the end of day on the deck and relax. Easy access (yes, the stairs are there but it helps with getting the steps in for the day!) to head to Nassau or western New Providence for meetings, it's a real gem.
