I had a lovely time at British Colonial Nassau, especially enjoying the beautiful beach and attentive staff. However, the prices for food and drinks definitely caught me off guard, making it feel a bit pricey overall. The location is fantastic and convenient for exploring Nassau, but I did experience some hiccups with service that dampened the experience a bit.

Dining was a mixed bag. The food quality was good, but prices were pretty high, and I encountered slow service at the poolside. Plus, the added taxes and fees really spiked the overall cost.

The beach and pool were beautiful and well-maintained, but I found some of the loungers and cabanas needed updating. Also, the lack of efficient service at the bar and restaurant was disappointing.

My stay at British Colonial Nassau was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of downtown Nassau, but the service left much to be desired. The private beach was beautiful and the restaurants served decent food, yet I experienced some significant issues with staff attitude and slow service during my time there.

I had an enjoyable stay at British Colonial Nassau, with lovely amenities like the private beach and nice pool. The location was perfect for exploring downtown Nassau, but the service left something to be desired, especially at check-in. Overall, it was a good experience but with room for improvement. 🌴😊

The staff were friendly and attentive, but the check-in process was frustratingly slow, taking almost 40 minutes. I could tell they were trying, but it seemed like the front desk was understaffed during busy times.

The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety, which I really enjoyed. However, I found the pricing for meals high, which was a downside. A little more transparency and consistency in pricing would help.

The gym was well-equipped and a pleasant surprise, but there was ongoing construction that impacted the overall atmosphere. The beach access was great, though I would have loved some more options for leisurely activities.

The British Colonial Nassau offers an appealing location right in the heart of downtown, coupled with a beautiful private beach. though my experience had a few irritating drawbacks. While the beach was lovely, I noticed some trash in the water, which was disappointing. The staff were generally pleasant, but there were moments of frustrating delays in services and communication.

Being close to shops, bars, and restaurants made it easy for me to explore the vibrant local scene. The private beach access was a major plus, giving me a beautiful spot to relax near the ocean.
Dining

While some meals were enjoyable, like the Saturday seafood dinner, I found breakfast options to be a bit underwhelming and took longer to arrive than I expected. It felt like they used old grease for the cooked items.
Facilities

The facilities include a gym and room service, but the gym was in need of an update. I appreciated the free use of beach items, but there were hidden fees during check-out that caught me off guard.

My stay at the British Colonial Nassau had its highs and lows. The private beach was a wonderful escape, but the overall experience was marred by issues with the staff and room conditions. While the beach offered relaxation and the breakfast had a decent variety, the hotel felt somewhat run down and in need of a refresh.

Rooms
5.0
The room I stayed in was poorly laid out and had visible maintenance issues like scotch tape on the lights. Although it was spacious, I found the shower leaked onto the floor and the bathroom had mold under the sink. Overall, the lack of bottled water and a mini-bar made my experience less than enjoyable.
Service

The service was hit or miss. While some staff were warm and welcoming, I encountered unfriendly front desk staff who were unhelpful during check-in and check-out. There were issues with billing that required argument, which added frustration to my stay.

The beach and pool facilities were nice, but I was disappointed by noise from construction during my stay. Amenities like WiFi were charged extra, and it felt like some areas, like the elevators, were poorly maintained.
