The hotel was well appointed, the staff was very friendly and the hotel was clean and comfortable. Both the breakfast anns the bar were great. After a week on a small private boat the robe and house slippers and hot bath were very refreshing. I will stay here again if I need a hotel in Nassau.

4-night trip

10/10

We had a great time and the hotel was very comfortable with access to everything. The only con is that ocean view is partial ocean view. When cleaning staff are cleaning there’s a constant noise right outside your room and you hear everything… if your room is by the elevator. Other than that, it was great!

This has truly become our home away from home in Nassau! In July 2024, during the largest global IT outage ever, our airline placed us here for four unexpected days while trying to get us back to the U.S. We enjoyed our stay so much that we returned in April 2025 by choice. The staff, amenities, location, and overall charm of the hotel were outstanding. Having stayed at other, more well-known resorts on the island, we still prefer the British Colonial and everything it offers. Relaxing on the beach and waving to passing ships is an experience that simply can't be matched!
