Beautiful facility! Staff was super friendly and accomodating! Convenient location - close to all that downtown Nassau has to offer. Truly a 5 star facility! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Due to the nature of my visit I had to stay several days at another hotel - once I got to British Colonial, I truly felt like I was on vacation!

Beautiful Hotel and Great location. I would definitely recommend. I love the private beach and pool area. Only negative thing is that the food and drinks are very pricey and not many kid-friendly items on the menu. Our family enjoyed this hotel so much that we have re-booked.
