Excellent stay and would definitely stay again. The staff was top notch in every way. The hotel was nice and the private beach was great. The location was great and close to shopping and places to eat. They only had one elevator working but that wasn’t much of an issue.

Initially there was an issue as our room wasn't ready, but the manager was quick to resolve and even provided complimentary drinks for my fiancée and I while we waited! The property itself is beautiful from the architecture to the framed pieces of historical photos splattered throughout the resort. I can't comment on the pools, of which there were 2, as we opted for the private beach instead. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas were available upon request, and this was the perfect setting to enjoy the blue bahama waters. The crystal clear waters were beautifully calm throughout our entire trip, and we even marveled at the sound of the horns of the cruise ships docked nearby (but not obstructing the view). There was live music in the lounge nightly, but we opted to spend our evenings at nearby eateries. The location of this resort was fantastic. About a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport, and a short 5-10 walk to downtown area with the straw market and other shops. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be back!

Loved the fact it was near the straw market and boat ramps for water activities. Rooms were clean. The souvenir/general store was not open during regular business hours. The only complaint for our 6 night stay was the wait staff and manager at the sushi restaurant. The waiter forgot 3 sushi orders and when we asked about the plates, manager told my husband we probably didn’t order it . The wait staff told him he probably forgot to write it down but it took 30 minutes for our sushi to arrive after and only one table was being served besides us. Poor management for that restaurant. Other than that everything was phenomenal.
Try the smash burger at the Tavern! Delicious!
Adorable pillows in the lobby!
