Very nice, good location It was different to see all the cruise ships. Dunkin across the street for coffee. The gym has water so bring a reusable bottle or you will be paying $13 at the cafe. Staff very nice and do a decent job of keeping the beach private. After after 12pm, people start slipping in, a little annoying. I would stay here again. Just be mindful food is expensive and everything closes around 5pm. Very laidback area.

The beach area was nice - it was not very big but there were not many people the week we went so it was perfect. The rooms were okay. We were first put in a room with a ‘city view’ which was a view of the busy street below. Dominique was nice enough to move us to a garden view. Everything at this hotel was expensive and we did not enjoy the brunch at all. We ate at other establishments during our stay. The door and room service staff were exceptionally nice. The front desk was okay.

The British Colonial in Nassau is a beautiful place to stay and an all around great experience. From the moment you arrive, the vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and perfectly island inspired. The waterfront location is stunning and makes it easy to slip right into vacation mode. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with great views and everything you need for a relaxing stay. The staff are truly wonderful. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and happy to help, which really makes the experience stand out. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Nassau and close to shopping, dining, and local attractions. Whether you are lounging by the pool, enjoying the private beach, or having a drink while watching the sunset, it feels effortless and enjoyable. Overall, the British Colonial delivers a relaxed, polished stay with great service and a fantastic setting. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend!
