Beach Hotels in Nassau

"Service was good overall. Our room however, left much to be desired. The mattress was lumpy, the toilet worked on occasion, there was a stench emanating from the shower stall and the security box needed fixing. To their credit, it was fixed. The food was OK but expensive. Everywhere we went, food was expensive. The hotel is right next to the port where the megaships dock and release thousands of tourists into the quaint downtown by 8:00AM. By five thirty most of the stores close and the place is desolate. The hotel appears to be located on a side of Nassau that is exposed to winds; more so when compared to the Grand Hyatt that we visited. The weather was not conducive for swimming (2/6-2/9), as the weather was in the high 50s to low 60s with excessive winds. If you like fish fry, this is your kind of place. Be prepared to dole out almost $100 (US) for two; and this is without alcoholic beverages. Pelegrino is $13! Cocktails can run in excess of $25. The one saving grace was that the Bahamians were very nice; friendly, cordial and gregarious."
