Hotels Near Baha Mar underwater eco-reef in Nassau

There is a reason this place is cheap and cheerful. The rooms promise things that simply are not there. We booked a room with kitchenette iron and microwave none existed. The two double/king bed was a creaky double and creakier single. The hairdryer was cracked and not working. There were no coat hangers or cups in the room. Although we asked on arrival about a broken tv it was not repaired until we asked again the following day. The maid service left the floor not just wet but soaking, my partner slipped on entering the room and the towel I used to mop the floor then had to be replaced as if was too wet to use again. The bathroom tap was hanging off and had to be pushed hard to turn on and off. The pool had a light fall out and sink to the floor with the electrical wire hanging from the side, there was urgency to sort this which was left for the last two days of my trip. Many of the staff are unhelpful and just grunt when you smile or greet them with a good morning. Sean and William are very friendly and helpful and give the place a real holiday feel. They supply free cocktails and a few snacks in the evenings, these help but is the only small part of friendly you are likely to find. The Manager, I believe to be a female, replies to any complaints or enquiries with a ‘come by in the morning to get it sorted’ this is on permanent repeat! No solutions to any issues until it’s time for you to leave taking the problem away until the next guest arrives. Avoid the place. I took videos to show the poor quality not knowing I wouldn’t be able to show them but believe me, it’s below basic and they just do not care!

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 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.

The location is also close to downtown and the view from the hotel is fantastic. The only downside is that the water comes out a bit too thick.

The first day of the renminbi more than 3,900, the next day, more than 5,000, the third day, more than 7,000, the real tmd, the front desk, the efficiency of the front desk was extremely slow, the second day, the room continued to tell me that I was the last one and must let me change from the 18th floor to the 15th. The room type is not the same price, even if I told me that I must be doubled because of another room? How do WTF guests know that he lives a few floors? I didn't expect that when I played Check in, he gave me the 7th floor. I felt that I was being played. The front desk often had a person at night. The brain was not very good. The efficiency was particularly low. The system was very old. It really gave more than 1 point. I lost 20,000 knives in the casino. No one told me that I could change points for the hotel. When I check out, a friend told me that I would go back and ask them to say it is too late.

These are very small apartments, but nevertheless quite comfortable for spending a few days in Nassau if you are passing through. Quiet area. Shops and fast food cafes are a 10-15 minute walk away. It will be much more convenient for your stay if you have a rented car. There is plenty of parking space for him right in front of the house. Large bathroom with shower and washbasin. The kitchen is equipped, there are pots and pans and a capsule coffee machine, which can also be used for brewing tea bags. Coffee, tea, dishwashing and hand washing liquid - everything is also available. Impeccable cleanliness everywhere inside the house. There is a small green lawn in the backyard, but it is not equipped for recreation. What’s unexpected is that there is no table in the house for eating, but there are two folding tables for a mobile computer that can be converted into dining tables. There is very little space in the living room and you will have to be careful not to knock over anything. The bed needs repair or replacement. The mattress, although a little narrow for two adults of average build, is of good quality. But the bed frame itself has long been in need of replacement or repair. The hostess will find you by phone in advance and leave the necessary and clear instructions on how to find and get into the house. And also organizes a meeting and seeing off, if necessary. And although we briefly and inattentively read the reviews, we made a mistake in choosing the area and apartments; we wanted a busier place and more spacious conditions inside, but all the inconveniences were compensated by concern for our comfort! Bottom line. Housing is more suitable for students or single travelers with a rented car at their disposal, accustomed to the American way of life. Outstanding hospitality will be a great bonus!

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.
