The perfect hotel for a small price!! We just got back from our first time at the Bahamas and had the best time there!! The room was spectacular with oceanview and friendly staff. After reading previous reviews I was very worried about coming here but was surprised at how clean, safe, and wonderful the place turned out to be. Must be under new managment because it was very safe, the police station is right next door and there is 24 hour security there at the hotel. The hotel was very clean and only $70 a night through priceline. The beach was very calm and mellow with the best ocean life compared to the other beaches. Heard paradise island was wonderful but it costs $15 to get there and if you don't have a room with the hotels there such as atlantis resorts, etc they wont let you down to the beach unless you pay for a visitors pass so we had to walk about 2 miles to the public beach in flip flops which caused blisters and it turned out to be a real disapointment, no fish or ocean life at all and the waves were very choppy and full of weeds. Our beach at the Nassau Resort was wonderful! There was lionfish, starfish, school of fish that swam right next to you and could be seen just looking down in the water since it was so clean and clear. Found awesome shells and coral to take back as gifts. The food around the area was great, expect to spend about $20 a person for a good meal. Places I recommed to eat at are the fish fry resteraunt, poop deck, atlantis resort casino resteraunt atlas where we had awesome burgers and a dessert called the donut burger which is a donut with chocolate, strawberries, whipped cream and sugar cookies cut like fries for only $10 designed to look like a burger with fries-very creative. The hotel has the cheapest food for $9-$10 for sandwich type meals. The worlds best daquiris are very close for $2-$6 depending on what size you get at the fish fry resteraunts. The resteraunts are also within walking distance about a mile or less right by the water and very romantic to walk by at night! Hotels all over the island do charge a energy and water charge of $10 a person per day so don't be discouraged when charged this because it is at every hotel, I double checked. Straw market is only a few blocks away with awesome gifts. Found handmade wood whistles for only $1 each for gifts, and a great handmade fan for only $5 for myself which was wonderful for the heat and as a gift to keep. Hope this review helps, I know it has some bad reviews from the past and trust me I worried like crazy before going a few days ago but once I got there I was so happy I came and thought how silly it was for me to worry. You won't be disapointed!!!
