"Private access to beach with several areas to relax ,pool area for kids."
"This gave us the whole day to enjoy their beach & pool area which we were not expecting."
"Private beach so no hassle from people trying to sell things to you big grounds so you dont feel over crowed."
“British Colonial Nassau offers a distinctive experience with its blend of historic charm and modern amenities, set against the backdrop of a private beach in downtown Nassau; I found the staff's attentiveness particularly noteworthy, creating a relaxed atmosphere. While the rooms might be on the smaller side, the hotel's location provides easy access to local entertainment and dining, making it a revitalizing urban escape.”
