Sandyport Beach Resort
Sandyport Beach Resort is an absolute gem located in a beautiful, quiet part of Nassau. The resort itself has everything you need—whether it’s dining, drinks, or just relaxing by the pool. While meals at the on-site restaurants are pricier (as expected across the island, except for fast food spots), the quality is excellent and worth every penny. One highlight was the small convenience station inside the complex offering affordable snacks and light meals—we loved stopping by for quick bites. The beach isn’t the most pristine—like many public beaches here—but the lagoon and swimming pool more than make up for it. They’re clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a refreshing dip. For the best snorkeling and scenery, definitely rent a car to visit Love Beach and Jaws—two stunning locations with crystal-clear waters and incredible underwater views. At Love Beach, there’s a gate fee, but locals pointed us toward a nearby spot where we could park our car and walk in freely—great tip! What really stood out was the staff’s warm, attentive service—far better than what you often get elsewhere. The entire resort area feels clean, organized, and thoughtfully managed. The room service was exceptional too—items were restocked daily without us even asking, down to the smallest details. It made our stay incredibly seamless and comfortable. A few improvements in public tourism infrastructure would help, but overall, this place offers a peaceful, high-quality experience. If you're looking for relaxation, great service, and a touch of local charm, Sandyport is a top choice.
Courtyard Nassau Downtown/Junkanoo Beach
The hotel and staff were absolutely excellent—friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from downtown Nassau and Junkanoo Beach, making it easy to explore the area. However, one thing to note is that the walls are quite thin, so you can hear quite a bit from neighboring rooms—conversation, footsteps, even TV noise. We’d suggest avoiding cleaning duties late at night when guests are trying to rest. Despite this minor issue, the overall experience was outstanding, and the value for money is great. Would definitely recommend this property for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in Nassau.
Da Pink and White Palace
Staying at Da Pink and White Palace on New Providence was an absolute highlight of our trip to the Bahamas. From the moment we arrived, the hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful with any question we had. They recommended a tour to Exuma that was not only more affordable than what we’d seen on other platforms but also hands down the best experience on the island—especially since options are limited. They even provided a detailed map with all the must-visit spots: beaches, cafes, shops, and attractions, plus clear directions on how to get there. The house itself is stunning—so spacious, beautifully decorated in pink throughout, and feels like stepping into a Barbie dream. The kitchen is fully equipped, perfect for cooking meals instead of eating out every night. We originally booked just 3 nights, but ended up extending by another 3 because we simply didn’t want to leave! We left with little souvenir magnets as a sweet memory. If you're looking for a warm, personalized, and unforgettable stay, this place is a must-book.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Nassau
Staying at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Nassau was an absolutely outstanding experience. The hotel is impeccably clean, with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Every detail, from the well-appointed rooms to the quiet, comfortable surroundings, reflected great attention to quality. The location is ideal—just a short walk from the heart of Nassau, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel delivers exceptional value and comfort. I couldn't recommend it more highly and will definitely be returning.

The space was spacious and immaculately clean, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of amenities. Our host, Cornelia, was incredible—always responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout our entire visit. She made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The location is quiet yet convenient, just a short walk to local spots and beaches. If you're looking for a peaceful, luxurious retreat with top-notch service, this villa is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back.

Plus, it’s just a short ride from downtown Nassau, so exploring the city or enjoying nearby beaches is super easy. This place truly delivers on comfort, hospitality, and value. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, stress-free getaway in the Bahamas.
Brownstone Marlin Drive
The stay at Brownstone Marlin Drive was absolutely fantastic! The staff were incredibly attentive—when they learned a larger group was arriving, they proactively moved us to a quieter room and even upgraded us without hesitation. That kind of thoughtful service really made a difference. The team was warm and friendly throughout our visit, and linens were changed every other day, keeping everything fresh and clean. The pool area was inviting, the grounds beautifully landscaped, and we felt very secure walking around the property. It’s clear that attention to detail and guest comfort are top priorities here. A truly memorable experience with excellent value—definitely planning to come back.

I absolutely love this place! The highlight has to be Max, the parrot—so much fun chatting with him every time I walked by. The hotel is literally right in the heart of town, which means no need to rent a car or pay for taxis constantly. As someone who hates walking, that’s a huge plus. Everything I needed was within easy reach—restaurants, shops, and local sights—all just a short stroll away. It’s such a convenient and charming stay. I’d book here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nassau.
