Me and my boyfriend did not have the best stay. For starters, this hotel is advertised as having 8 restaurants on expedia. They only have two and a tiny coffee shop. This really made our stay not as enjoyable. We walked and ate at the fish fry for the most part. Also they had to change our room our first night because our refridgerator and the ac was not working. The hotel room is very very small. They did some upgrades but there is no stand up mirror so I couldnt really see how i looked after getting dressed. Honestly we had so many issues that is too much to type but I would not stay here again. Watch out for the hidden fees they call it taxes. This is my second time in the Bahamas and my first stay was at Margaritaville. I had absolutely no issues when I stayed with them.

Beautiful hotel… no follow through when there’s issues to be resolved. My family was there for 5 days & had no light in the bathroom or the hallway in the room.. dirty towels were left “after” the room was cleaned.. no clean towels. Had to REQUEST toilet paper!!! Room wasn’t cleaned until 4pm.. Ants all over the room, my daughter had bites marks all over!! No service by the pool or beach area! Total disappointment… beautiful hotel crap services!

Let’s see.. where do I start? Lack of food options? Doors locked and not a crumb of food available after 6pm? How about $60.00 for a plate of wings? Or maybe, asking for a room with a “garden view” and being placed in a room with no view. I could mention the blatant hatred from locals, hostility is an understatement. There’s also asking for the phone in our room to be fixed and then ignoring us. Asking for the room to be cleaned and for fresh towels and the housekeeper glaring at us. Asking the front desk where to get food because my diabetic husband was starting to get low blood sugar and having her laugh in our faces and say “nothing is open and there aren’t any vending machines either.” They sent us on a wild goose chase to some bar with music so loud the staff were all wearing earplugs. I have never been treated with such hatred in my entire life. We couldn’t wait to leave. OH and one more thing, my husbands credit card information was stolen and he’s had to dispute over $800 worth of charges. In short: if you’re going to stay here, prepare to starve and be hated for no reason. It was a nightmare to say the least.

Very clean. Beautiful view of beach. Staff were very polite, friendly, and helpful. Unfortunately, they were understaffed, and there were unusually long waits for meals and drinks to be served. Also, it rained all day on our second full day there, but hotel provided no umbrellas at all.

Worked for a nice overnight stay -last minute

Due to incoming tropical storm our group of 8 was evacuated early from our catamaran in Abaco. We made it to Nassau and had to spend the night. The British Colonial had four rooms available for our group and we were pleased (it was off-season). The hotel is beautiful but if you don’t have an ocean view you look at a roof or McDonalds. The guest reception staff were excellent. The rain shower feature in the room was great. The bed was a little too soft. The pool looked lovely but pool bar service was just ok. No piña coladas at any bar on the property. Hotel location was great for a self-guided walking tour of downtown (found online). The London restaurant downtown was delicious for dinner and easy to walk to from the hotel. Not many options for breakfast outside of hotel. Hotel restaurant worked for breakfast. Taxi is easy to get to/from hotel/airport.

The view of the water was wonderful especially as it could be seen while laying in my bed. Internet connection never failed. The pool and beach areas are very well kept and the outside furniture well maintained and comfortable. The large pump of sunscreen outside is also a very nice perk for those that may have forgotten theirs at home. The outdoor music was just the right volume- soft and close but not overbearing or inappropriate. I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel.
