Bahamas Beach Holidays

The British Colonial is a fantastic hotel - right on Downtown and Nassau Port. It’s spotlessly clean inside and out, and there’s always staff around to help. We made great use of the hotel bars (inside, and by the pool) which offered great food and drink. And the pools and private beach were fabulous. Our room (officially garden view, but with a clear view of the sea and port) was spacious, and cleaned daily. And as you’d expect with the Bahamas, everyone was super friendly. Can’t fault our experience!

Wonderful spot for a family vacation! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the property and all amenities. Food was exceptional! Every single meal was delicious and exceeded our expectations. There are countless options for families of all sizes when dining. Waterpark and beach were the highlight for our kids. Absolutely loved the property.

The property is older and the cove rooms are worn and need to be refreshed as do the bathrooms. Big complaint about pool water temperature being too cold -- we did not swim at all in the pool, and it is the main reason for being there. Pool temps should be much warmer and advertised as other resorts do. We will not come back as other resorts have much warmer pool temps. Not enough beach chairs with sun covers at the cove beach or the pool. -- these 2 activities are the main reason people choose to come here -- so really needs to be addressed -- a truly lovely resort - if they can attend to these items

Friendly staff. Lagoon and pool area could use some upgrades.

On the plus side the facility was well maintained including hotel, grounds, beach, and pool areas. Buffets at Verandah offered a multitude of choices catering to everyone's taste. Specialty meals at two of the restaurants were a very nice touch. Staff was friendly and helpful. On the negative side I wasn't pleased with the Internet options. Standard had to be renewed on a daily basis while paying extra, in this day & age, for high-speed internet at a hotel makes no sense. I found our mattress to be lumpy while my wife had no problem. We both disliked the pillows. It was like sleeping on a bag of sand.
