Best Hotels near Snorkel Adventure Bahamas, Nassau

The Holiday Inn Express is perfect for people who want a clean and comfortable accommodation without staying at an ”all-inclusive” resort. The Bahamian culture and the Nassau area are so beautiful, and it would be a shame to lock yourself into a sealed resort where you don't really interact with locals. Service here was fantastic -- my air conditioner was misbehaving a bit on the first day, and I asked someone to come take a look, and instead they upgraded me to a larger room to make sure they had time to look at the a/c and that I didn't spend a moment being uncomfortable, which was above and beyond my expectations. They have a really tasty hot breakfast, and their snack selection, available 24 hours a day to be picked up at reception and billed to your room, is broad and includes even full microwave meals (for when you're hungry at 3am on an island with very to no overnight food places available). The prices are very, very reasonable, as well -- after snacking pretty consistently throughout my seven-day stay, I expected my snack and beer bill to get a little crazy, but it turned out to be about $20 after I ate and drank well over $20 worth of stuff. It's easy to walk to downtown and shop, book tours, etc. from here, and the beach is right across the street. The Fish Fry at Arawak Cay is a 5-10 minute walk away as well. Most of what I wanted to see and do was an easy commute on foot, and cabs to and from the hotel were reasonably priced, when I was way too tired. Plus, the #10 city bus runs right past it. I would definitely recommend this place to travelers who are pretty independent in a new location, but also like comfort and great service. It was the perfect balance for me.

Stayed at the resort for a week, the staff is so friendly in all areas of the resort. The Condo type rooms in the One Particular Harbor building are perfect for families. The pool includes slides and a lazy river. For $60 a day per person you can get access to the club lounge which has breakfast, light lunch/snack items and hors d'oeuvres late afternoon. A decent bar to make your own drinks as well. Had at least one meal in each restaurant, brunch in JWB on Sunday was our favorite but all are good.

I admit, I was skeptical about staying here at first, but then I was pleasantly surprised. The room was nice and it was really great that it had three beds so we didn’t have to share! Speaking of beds, very comfortable mattresses, pillows and good quality linens. Our room had a private rear patio and an open front patio that was perfect for lounging with a coffee or a drink. The pool area was nice, clean and the water was wonderful. A mix of sunny and shady spots were available. In the evening, Kenny served cocktails on the house and kept us entertained with tunes and chit chat. There were flowering bushes everywhere, creating a lovely atmosphere and the rooms are named after flowers like Tulip and Bougainvillea. The staff were very helpful and kind. Complimentary breakfast made to order as well as tea, coffee, juice, fresh fruit and baked goods made for a lovely morning! There isn’t much to do in this area, but a short walk will take you to the beach or to the Bahama Grill for some of the best food!

The location of the hotel is right in the city centre, but all the shops in downtown Nassau are closed at 6:00 in the evening. We didn't borrow a car in the center of Nassau because parking was very inconvenient.

The hotel is conveniently located in the center of Nassau, especially the Chinese restaurant in the hotel is quite authentic! Although the hotel is not big, it is quite good to sit on the exclusive beach and watch a large cruise ship enter and leave Hong Kong. Absolute C position!

The Rosewood is truly paradise on earth. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of at all times (especially the butlers) - they were so kind and made our stay truly relaxing. The room was always perfectly clean when we returned to it in the evening and the property was just breathtaking as usual. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we can't wait to go back!

The owner is an amazing woman. She was very helpful, easy to reach, and accommodating. She responded to questions quickly which was impressive as we made initial inquiries four time zones away. While there she also responded to messages quickly. The apartment had everything we needed including a full-sized refrigerator, gas stove, and a microwave. We even had a private outdoor area. We were there comfortably for a week. The location was very nice as well. We didn't have to drive far to have all of our needs met. What was interesting is that by contacting her directly we got a better price than going through typical travel search engines.

The hotel WIFI is too slow. Everything else is pretty good.

Due to the fact that we travel a lot, we have a lot of experience in terms of hotels and services. The Goldwynn Hotel is a new, clean and smelling property. The rooms are equipped with a kitchenette which is absolutely a plus. The beach is tiny but the view is picturesque. In my opinion obnoxiously expensive for the quality of service it offers. The hotel has one beach/pool bar and one restaurant where you eat every meal from breakfast to dinner. You pay once for each meal, the hotel has no offer for its guests or families. When ordering shakshuka, I asked if there was an option to make it less spicy, I received the answer that there was no such option - the level of spiciness was so high that I didn't finish the portion. For dinner we opted for lobster - the display on the ice showcase seemed promising - we got a large portion of noodles and meat as much as for the medicine - all the dignity of the dish disappeared! In addition, we had the impression that it was completely out of season, there were no attractions on the hotel grounds regardless of the time of day (the period between Christmas and New Year) for children and adults - you can swim on the sup or boat but you have to pay extra. One day we were invited to a building located in the garden of the hotel for a meeting. It was supposed to be a club for people who like to travel at a high level - to be honest, their offer sounded like a financial pyramid.I was very surprised that a hotel at this level does not chastise its guests from such offers - one may have mixed feelings. We spent 5 nights and for another 5 nights we moved to a famous hotel and aquapark. I will say frankly there is no comparison! The offer of attractions , culinary arts and experiences was amazing. I would only add that the cost of the other was 2 times less than Goldwynn - in total I visited about 40 hotels. It was the first time I experienced such a huge disappointment.
