Very good

It felt very safe. Loved the pool area and distance to airport. The pillows could be upgraded. The lighting was poor. Some lights didn’t work. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful.

Nice location overpriced for room quality

It was clean and not crowded. Calm and in a convenient location

Rooms in particular bathrooms are poorly maintained. Considering that they charge 300 bucks per night a remodeling is past due.

Good location and value considering prices in Nassau

I was in an efficiency unit with two gas burners and a small refrigerator and microwave with utensils and dishes. There is a large grocery store within a 15 minute walk and this setup saved signifincantly on food expenses. Food is very expensive in Nassau and this contributes to high expenses in restaurants. There is a major sandy beach (Sandyport) with easy access from the resort.

The Wifi was off for a few days because of what turned out to be wind damage but it was repaired

Pleasant and relaxed stay at Sandy port. We look forward to a return visit.

Quiet and relaxed resort, family friendly with easy access of restaurants, beach and pool, and most important for our family is that the staff were accommodating and kind to my son with disabilities.

2 night stay

The lagoon is beautiful, the rooms were big, sandyport had lots of nice restaurants nearby, would be great for kids. Some staff were very friendly and kind.

The rooms were dated - the door didn't deadbolt, the bathtub was grungy (not unclean just old sealant etc), the shore of the lagoon had litter on it, the beach near the resort that is actually on the ocean was not very appealing. The shower wasn't totally clean.

Cozy hotel

We loved the location (close to the airport) and very lovely surroundings

The bed-sheets are very uncomfortable. no proper shower-gel or shampoo. when we entered the room it was freezing, they must have kept the AC on for days, because it took us several hours to manage to get the room temperature to something that could be bearable to sleep in. For this reason the humidity in the room was unbearable, the mirrors were foggy and everything was starting to be wet.

Lovely stay within a very quite area

I have mixed feeling about this, because it started with a great experience, with the reception staff being very helpful and friendly and even giving us a great upgrade for our stay. Location and beach are great. We enjoyed it a lot. Room was spacious and quiet.

The furniture in the room is way too old and not best maintained. There shower gel and shampoo were really bad quality, so we had to go and buy our own from the supermarket. Upon checkout we had a very bad experience. My partner forgot his smartwatch in the room (on the bed), we realized when we already checked in at another hotel, therefore we went back and tried to tell the stuff what happened. They allowed him in the room, however, the cleaning staff was claiming there was nothing there, no watch or anything. while he inspected the room himself, they manager arrived and they called my partner outside and the watch was laying down on the floor outside of the room next to a pile of sherbets (although the bed-sheets in the room were not yet changed). This made us think if we would have been 30 minutes later, the watch would have been lost.

Great stay n a great location near the airport. Easy access by local bus to downtown Nassau.

Lovely resort hotel with access to a private beach. The lagoon side of the property is a great place to sit and enjoy the sun. The bar tender at Da Conch Shack was very friendly and made great cocktails. Rooms were big, clean and the ones with balconies overlooking the lagoon were lovely.

Some reviews say the resort is a bit tired. I get what they mean as it’s not got manicured lawns and raked sand. Go to the big resorts for that, this place is more authentic.

Beautiful (but expensive) resort with amazing amenities and service.

The property is beautiful and has fantastic amenities. You really don't need to leave if you don't want to. Multiple restaurants and bars, great coffee shop, friendly and helpful staff, pool with slides, and a beautiful private beach. It's what you picture from a Bahamian vacation.

It is very expensive for the size of our room. It was clean, modern, and nice but for 600+ a night you expect more than just a hotel room. Well out of our price range to make a return visit possible.

Charming resort with direct beach access

The facilities were nice and clean. The different colors of the buildings were adorable. It is not an all inclusive but there were many activities you can partake in. There is direct access to a public beach and a lagoon beach on the other side. Both are very nice and relaxing. The staff was friendly and helpful.

It's a bit of a way from downtown but really not a big deal as you can take the bus for $1.25. They run fairly frequently and much cheaper than a taxi. Granted we went during New Year so prices were peak but it was quite expensive for what you get.

Great location and fantastic surroundings

The whole area is fantastic! The beach surrounding the hotel blending into the pool is great! Also only a short stroll under the bridge to the public beach. A few bars, restaurants and shops are within the "community" and only about a 10mins drive to the airport of 20mins to downtown Nassau. Lots of games and facilities available for kids and staff were very friendly.

Rooms were a little dated and could be in need of an update

Really enjoyable after noisy and frantic stay at Paradise island-more how we expected the Bahamas to

Location of room Walk straight out onto safe beach and swim area Peaceful with no piped music! Great location for good choice of walkable restaurants and friendly church. There were courtesy trips to the supermarket although it was also walkable

Lack of lunch choice in resort Poor breakfast

Overall our stay was excellent and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and quiet nights.

Very clean resort and staff was very friendly. We had a large room with a generous bathroom and walk-out to patio which led to hammocks, shaded lounge chairs and man-made beach with nice view over looking the inlet. Close to all amenities.

Outdoor pools were very cold due to the season.

Amazing workcation destination!

My room was well appointed (on the smaller side) but for a solo traveller this was adequate and had everything that was needed. The bathroom was also small but sufficient. The kitchenette was well equipped and it was appreciated. A larger work desk would have been nice but I don't think many people come here to work. I was able to take my laptop to Blue Sail but was chased off on the 2nd day. The resort itself is beautifully laid out and well kept. The location is magical and I felt my family would have enjoyed it more (but we will be back). The staff were well trained, very friendly and professional. I thought very highly of them, many of them greet you as you pass by (felt really welcomed). Overall a beautiful resort, just looks a bit tired with age but the crew looks like they are staying on top of it. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Nothing at all.

Proximity to beach a real plus.

If we had one complaint it was the water pressure in the shower. However, minor problem.

The ABSOLUTE BEST!

If you are looking for a place to vacate and don’t really need to or want to do all the “touristy” things or want the “hype” of everything near Paradise Island- EVERYTHING about this property was excellent! Rooms are a welcome retreat after a day out, always something interesting happening in the inlet - my room was right on the beach - completely awesome- and the staff were OUTSTANDING!! I never got the name of the maintenance person who made sure my remotes were working and came back the next day to bring a replacement with batteries; then from beginning to end TAJ our bellman (huge kind smile and always ready to assist - even on his break), IAN the taxi driver assigned by the hotel (on time - every time very knowledgeable) and the AMAZING and ALWAYS happy LEANNE who ensured that everyone at the hotel was having a FAB time - but she made my vacation the very BEST experience - I felt super special as a result of her gigantic gift of hospitality. Because of them, I will always stay here when visit and I will be there again soon! Quite honestly, all the staff at this resort were by far the most consistently hospitable people I have ever met in my travels. I highly recommend this resort if you’re going to Nassau!

Hard to say but… there is no room service or a resort shop (not a deal breaker) - and although there are lots of restaurants around the resort and a food delivery service, if it’s raining, late in the evening or coming in from a long day, it would be nice just to put a food order on my room tab.

Very pleasant.

The lagoon was a great experience throughout our stay. Our room was in a good location and allowed us to have easy access to everything.

The housekeeping could have been better, mopping the floor and paying attention to what was needed in the room (for example a complete set of towels in the bathroom, cleaning the coffee pot, and replacing the beach towels when they were removed from the room.
