British Colonial Nassau

Johnnie Cash (Abaco Asian Market)

⭐ 4-Star Honest Review My husband and I stayed in Room 541 on my work trip. The hotel has a great location and very good value, and we would stay again. However, the room floor and rug could have been cleaner, and the elevator cable made a knocking noise all night, which made it hard to sleep. I would avoid staying near the elevator next time. We also tried the Mahogany Restaurant. I ordered the Seared Snapper, but the fish didn’t taste fresh. As a fish lover and a chef, I can tell when something isn’t right. My husband ordered chicken, and even he said his chicken tasted like fish. Because of that, we’d stay at the hotel again but skip the restaurant. Overall, friendly atmosphere, convenient location, and good value — just a few areas for improvement.

We came to the British Colonial when we ported at Nassau. We got the day-pass through Resort Pass. It was the best thing we did. It was about a 10 min walk through the shops. We got the cabana package (comes with cabana, 2 chairs, 2 umbrellas, meals - see attached photo. Please excuse our mess) note that the cabana is not completely covered, you’re given 2 umbrellas, which was fine with us. It wasn’t crowded. The water was calm. The sand is clean. Loved having the pools as well for our 5 yr old who went back and forth from beach and pool. We think it’s perfect if you have younger children or just want a chill environment. The food: I had fish tacos, husband had a burger, daughter had chicken tenders. Not the best thing we’ve had but it filled our bellies. We appreciate the staff/security hanging around at all times. We felt safe and taken care of. We will definitely come back to British Colonial if we come back to Nassau.

We spent several weeks here. The outdoor staff of Ken, Kevin, Jerome were outstanding. They were friendly, kind and helpful. They deserve a raise for all their hard work! We would like to have more food options in hotel, but plenty were nearby. Overall, we loved the pool, beach and ocean. We had a great time and would come back.

Some constructive criticism: our room needed a blind on the closet window or a way for the doors to stay closed- the lightening storms lit up our bedroom because of that. The rooms really need a full length mirror and a small make-up mirror. We had to request 20 additional hangers, there were only 5 in the room when we arrived. Despite us being out of the room more the majority of the day, everyday, housekeeping always seemed to come at the end of the day which was annoying, because that was when we wanted to go back to our room. The shower soap dispenser was really hard to use. The music around the pool should be shut off at night, we could hear it all night in our room. The bar/restaurant staff around the pool need some more training. It was day three when we realized they provided service, and they would bring a menu but never come take the order. One day we waited over 90 minutes for one burger. The great stuff: The service from your staff was always amazing (except by the pool) - the best we experienced of everything we did in Nassau, the pools and beaches felt very safe and were super clean. The room was very nice, the linens and towels felt luxurious, we appreciated the sunscreen and water that was available by the pool. Overall we really loved our stay, there were a couple minor things that could be improved but we really enjoyed our stay.

Small issues with room like leaking shower, broken toilet lid. Outside of the room the hotel is very nice. Service at all the restaurants is very poor, you’ll need to ask for a menu, tag someone down to order and then to pay. I tried ordering room service twice, first time they didn’t deliver it at all, second time it was an hour and a half after the scheduled delivery time. The location was great, close to lots of things to do and the beach is pretty decent.
