Sandyport Beach Resort Nassau, Bahamas

The Restaurant Blue Sail, the swimming pool, the private beach

N/A

Beautiful location facing the lagoon and very close to the beach

The place in general is outdated, nevertheless everything worked

The resort was quite friendly, very quiet, comfortable and felt very safe

There is a walkway to the beach but I wished it was actually on the beach.

Very convenient resort. A lot to do within walking distance. Very good restaurants onsite and overall a peaceful atmosphere.

Nothing that the resort could change but the beach is very steep and made it a bit uncomfortable.

Good location, nice resort with it's own beach and the public beach around the corner. Few restaurants around, public transport to the downtown nearby. Very nice staff (Bahamians seem very nice and helpful in general). Fairly close to the airport.

Rooms could be better maintained. The door from the cabinet under the sink fell out on our first day there and we had to fix it, couldn't get a safe working. We initially also struggled to figure out how to get the shower working and when we did it, we got water pouring from the tap and the shower at the same time.

Value for money and location.

Would do well to offer enhancement quality of toiletry.

The location and grounds were good but there were areas that seemed a little dated. The location and quality of the breakfast dining area was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The security was good. There were dining options close by.

Our room wasn't as clean as it should have been. There were multiple long hairs on the shower walls and around the edge of the tub. It made me wonder about the cleanliness of things that we couldn't see.

Great location, 15 minute drive from the airport. There are 4 Bars/restaurants within walking distance from Sandyport a beautiful cocktail bar, a cafe for breakfast and lunches and a fuel station which do takeaway food and some shopping essentials. We had booked a Lagoon suite room and a couple of double rooms which were right on the lagoon beach so we could pop in and out all day. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, Lady Jayne helped us book a boat trip up.

Some of the rooms and facilities are a little dated and could do with updating

Very quaint caribbean resort. It’s quiet and perfect to spend a relaxing time in Nassau but still enjoy all its perks. Aquatic sports are available on demand. The location is fantastic considering it’s access to a beautiful beach. Having Sandyport “Plaza” with different restaurants and cafes is an incomparable advantage that make Sandyport beach resort so unique

The experience in the hotel’s restaurant in leaves room for improvement. Also, the cleaning personnel could do a slightly better job too.

Room was lovely -- spacious. We had a King room with a living room and kitchen and nice balcony overlooking the lagoon. Easy walk to restaurants in or around the property. Easy walk to the sea--the beautiful sea.

Would have liked non-lumpy pillows and all cotton bedding. Otherwise, everything was good -- including a jacuzzi tub in the middle of the bedroom.

Beach

Old and Bahamian Dinner extremely overpriced

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.

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.

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

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.

Entertainment and activities

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.

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.

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.

Breakfast was awesome. Beach and sunshine were awesome

Wi-Fi was very weak!

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.

Breakfast was very good.

Small bedroom

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.

Loved the location, access to beaches and pools, and secluded gated community.

Some parts of the room felt outdated. Overall still great.

The staff were all so friendly and kind. Nice location right next to the beach, great spot for swimming.

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.

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

Family environment-pool, beach.

no music onsite

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

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.

Nice area

There’s a door to another apartment which cause big problem when the neighbours are noisy.

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.

Location

Price

Proximity to beach a real plus.

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

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 cozy, typical Bahamians cottage. Positive mood, Personnel extremely kind.

The bridge that cut the resort

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.

The location

Rooms are a bit old

Great staff very nice room on the beach

Could do with more restaurants and general store

-very good hotel in Nassau -big and compfortable room -great stuff -teepot in the room

-shower was a little bit uncomfrtable -water in the swimming pools was a bit dirty due to birds

Breakfast

The room had little bugs in the closet and the table beside the bed.

Very safe, comfortable and beautiful property

The food offered at breakfast and the seafood night was mediocre.

Sandyport resort met our expectations for a relaxing vacation. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Alex was exceptional!!! He welcomed us on our 1st day and was always willing to assist with recommendations for restaurants, activities. He was very kind and attentive. Pam & Arthur always greeted us with a great smile and they were very helpful also. We were welcomed and taken to our suite by a wonderful young gent. He was great by being very helpful during our stay anytime he saw us. The resort was very comfortable and we liked having the beach within walking distance. We loved having access to the grocery store trip. The suite was very spacious with double sinks in the master suite. The bed was very comfortable and closet/storage space was great. We enjoyed our 1st floor patio. Having 2 bathrooms & 2 tv's were a plus. There were enough appliances, small & large, to use and prepare meals on days when we stayed on the resort. The "lookout" view was phenomenal at anytime of the day. We would definitely stay at Sandyport again & highly recommend it. Thank you for making our stay very memorable.

There were not as many restaurants on site and we had to taxi to places for a variety. At times, we could hear our neighbors upstairs. Some modern upgrades would be nice like outlets near the bed and a larger screen tv.

The beach was very nice

The pool

Offers both Lagoon and beach with two pools and two slides for the kids.

Bathroom a little run down.

The room was good, the beach was beautiful. The food was not good at all and way too expensive for what it was.

Not very many places nearby to eat.

Nice little hotel on a picturesque bay with attentive staff. Beautiful beach and local cafes and restaurants in walking distance.

The setting was close to a beautiful beach and really nice restaurants. The facilities were great with pools and slides for entertainment. There was a free taxi service to the supermarket and beach towels and snorkelling gear were available at the reception.

Some work is needed on repairs. The balcony door was broken in our room.

The bed was hard as rocks.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. When we arrived, I asked whether it was possible to change from the studio to a room with two queensize beds and they arranged it immediately. The beach is very close by and it was nice that there was a restaurant available.

There were very few sunbeds available on the beach.

The room , beach and resort were superb. Our stay would have been enhanced if the ‘breakfast room’ also did evening meals , even if only every other night.

There could have been more beach umbrellas and new chairs on the beach.
