For clarity purposes, We didn't actually stay here as hotel guests. We purchased day passes to use their private beach. We did a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas and decided we wanted somewhere calm and quiet to just lay around and chill in the water. This place was perfect for that. The passes included lunch and lounge chairs with access to their pool. The lunch wasn't anything special but the private beach is excellent. The water was calm and clear. It was so calm that these little fish swim right up to you and I was able to cup my hands under them and pick them up. My son loved that part the most. The water is shallow with the deepest part reaching a little over 6 feet. We spent 5 hours there and would recommend it to anyone looking to get away from the touristy spots and just enjoy the beach.

My 5 yo grandson and I are cruising on the Mardi Gras and purchased a day pass through Resort for a Day. I originally thought the price was reasonable however, I’m not sure if I would come back. The beach and pool areas are beautiful and the grounds are very clean. The service is practically non-existent unfortunately. Once you flag someone down, it seems as if you are interrupting them. There should be enough chairs between the beach and the pool to accommodate resort guests and as well as any day passes they sell. They definitely don’t have enough around the pool, in favor of daybeds that are an additional fee. Lunch and a drink are included with our pass but you can’t order from the bar and I’ve asked for a waitress three separate times over the last hour. I finally had to track down the waitress as she was delivering someone’s order and asked her to please take our order when she has a moment. I’ve yet to see her again. At this point it looks like we’ll have to go back to the ship to eat although we paid for food. Very disappointed.
This place is so clean and has excellent staff. I dont have a single complaint. I will be back for next year's independence day!! And many more to come. I loved this place. Great access to the beach and pools. Plenty of places to sit and lay out. It was stunning
We spent the day with the Cabana & Dine Package at the British Colonial Nassau, and it was absolutely worth it! The resort is beautiful, the pool and beach area are relaxing, and having a private cabana made the day even better. The real highlight, though, was the staff. Crystal and Randy went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Their friendly, attentive service truly made the experience special. During a rain shower, another team member (I wish I could remember his name!) walked around drying off all the umbrellas, cabanas, and lounge chairs so guests could get right back to enjoying their day. That level of attention to detail and customer service did not go unnoticed. Thank you to the entire team for making our day so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!
Our stay was unfortunately very disappointing. This resort seems to cater more to cruise ship visitors than guests staying for a week. Almost everything closes by 4:00 or 5:00 p.m., leaving only one restaurant with a very limited menu. Our kids ended up eating burgers most nights because there were so few options. None of these basics were explained at check-in, so we had to figure everything out ourselves. They also advertise a hot tub, but when we asked about it, we were told it was actually at another hotel, which was very misleading. Even the "balcony" was really just a ridiculously tiny terrace that was far too small to comfortably enjoy. The room also had several issues. The shower had no curtain or shower door, causing water to splash everywhere, and the water pressure was terrible. Although the room sleeps four people, there were only two mirrors, both located in the bathroom, with none in the main room. Four girls trying to get ready every day made things very inconvenient, especially with everything closing so early. The one bright spot was the overnight staff, Perry and Shannon, who were incredibly kind, helpful, and always willing to answer our questions.
