Beautiful and comfortable stay

We were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and spectacular this hotel was. It is said to be the oldest hotel on the island. Recently refurbished in 2023, it reflects opulence and grandeur. Rooms are clean, spacious. Ours was an ocean view room. We daily watched the incoming Cruise ships from our room. WiFi very good in all areas. All in all a lovely stay. The hotel is central to downtown Nassau, placed well for eating and entertainment

The business were onpen baded on how many cruise ship was at port. The business closed very early or didn't open at all. The only clean area was at the port. Many people working at the shops had a nasty attitude if you asked them a question, especially about prices. I won't visit Nassau, Bahamas again. Nor would I recommend it to anyone.
