Hotels near Tiny beach, Nassau

Excellent resort near Nassau. The staff was very helpful and nice. The room was spacious with a veranda towards the laguna (with hammocks). The pool is also spacious, clean, and very pleasant. You can order drinks from the pool bar. We had breakfast on the veranda, very nice. However, the A/C in the room was very helpful (quiet and strong) as the weather was hot and humid. The ocean is a short walk below the road to Nassau. The resort itself is well guarded and not accessible from the outside which gave us a safe feeling (however, the Bahamas appear to be safe in general). Free coffee etc. in the room, microwave, fridge. Free international calls to the US from the front desk. Good parking locations directly in front of the appartment building. We had a rental car, but the resort is not far away from the airport (maybe 8 km driving). It is about 10 km from Nassau downtown where we went by rental car. It is probably easy to make both ways with a taxi. We really enjoyed our visit. It was just too short!

Brunch and dinner are delicious, drinks and drinks are free. Free burger fries and wine drink by the pool is available all day.

The resort is beautiful! The room was very nice with a huge balcony, a great bed and we really enjoyed having the kitchenette for snacks as food is very expensive in the Bahamas. The location of the hotel is good as well and close to the Bahamar without all the kids/noise. The hotel is quiet, making it easy to sleep in on vacation. The pool and beach are also lovely with plenty of chairs. The food at the resort was just o.k., but we had a car and were able to go out to other restaurants. Several times the outdoor restaurant was out of ingredients to make a item. We did not experience food outages at other restaurants we drove to. The coffee bar was very good. We did not try the main restaurant at the hotel. There was only one. Food choices are limited here. Where the hotel falls short is on service, except for housekeeping. They were very good. We have stayed in many 5 star Caribbean resorts and the service here is lacking for a resort that considers themselves this level. The staff are very friendly, but I think Bahamians are friendly in general. It's great to be friendly but it helps if they actually provide a service. At the beach one day, we had three workers watch us get towels and move our chairs under an umbrella on the beach while they seemed quite content to watch us. After we had gotten the chairs in position, one ask if we needed another towel? Geee...thanks, uh no. One lady at the front desk was very rude when I entered the resort from the front door looking for a lobby bathroom, demanding to know what my room number was in the way of a greeting. Before we left to go home I questioned her rude behavior. She stated security had called the front desk to question me. I think she was lying as I was a nicely dressed woman sporting a Goldwynn bracelet ( your room key) and carrying a Goldywynn water bottle from our room. Also we had just driven in the gate to the hotel which was opened by security when they saw our wristbands.I still have no idea what got into her, or why she though it was o.k. to treat a guest this way. It certainly put a damper on my vacation, and I hope she does not treat another guest this way. One shinning star was Kevin at the pool/beach. He was awesome! He went out of his way to be sure you had everything you needed. Bottom line between the rude front desk worker and below par service we would not stay at the Goldwynn again. It's a shame because it really is a beautiful resort.

There is a reason this place is cheap and cheerful. The rooms promise things that simply are not there. We booked a room with kitchenette iron and microwave none existed. The two double/king bed was a creaky double and creakier single. The hairdryer was cracked and not working. There were no coat hangers or cups in the room. Although we asked on arrival about a broken tv it was not repaired until we asked again the following day. The maid service left the floor not just wet but soaking, my partner slipped on entering the room and the towel I used to mop the floor then had to be replaced as if was too wet to use again. The bathroom tap was hanging off and had to be pushed hard to turn on and off. The pool had a light fall out and sink to the floor with the electrical wire hanging from the side, there was urgency to sort this which was left for the last two days of my trip. Many of the staff are unhelpful and just grunt when you smile or greet them with a good morning. Sean and William are very friendly and helpful and give the place a real holiday feel. They supply free cocktails and a few snacks in the evenings, these help but is the only small part of friendly you are likely to find. The Manager, I believe to be a female, replies to any complaints or enquiries with a ‘come by in the morning to get it sorted’ this is on permanent repeat! No solutions to any issues until it’s time for you to leave taking the problem away until the next guest arrives. Avoid the place. I took videos to show the poor quality not knowing I wouldn’t be able to show them but believe me, it’s below basic and they just do not care!

The location of the hotel is right in the city centre, but all the shops in downtown Nassau are closed at 6:00 in the evening. We didn't borrow a car in the center of Nassau because parking was very inconvenient.

The Holiday Inn Express is perfect for people who want a clean and comfortable accommodation without staying at an ”all-inclusive” resort. The Bahamian culture and the Nassau area are so beautiful, and it would be a shame to lock yourself into a sealed resort where you don't really interact with locals. Service here was fantastic -- my air conditioner was misbehaving a bit on the first day, and I asked someone to come take a look, and instead they upgraded me to a larger room to make sure they had time to look at the a/c and that I didn't spend a moment being uncomfortable, which was above and beyond my expectations. They have a really tasty hot breakfast, and their snack selection, available 24 hours a day to be picked up at reception and billed to your room, is broad and includes even full microwave meals (for when you're hungry at 3am on an island with very to no overnight food places available). The prices are very, very reasonable, as well -- after snacking pretty consistently throughout my seven-day stay, I expected my snack and beer bill to get a little crazy, but it turned out to be about $20 after I ate and drank well over $20 worth of stuff. It's easy to walk to downtown and shop, book tours, etc. from here, and the beach is right across the street. The Fish Fry at Arawak Cay is a 5-10 minute walk away as well. Most of what I wanted to see and do was an easy commute on foot, and cabs to and from the hotel were reasonably priced, when I was way too tired. Plus, the #10 city bus runs right past it. I would definitely recommend this place to travelers who are pretty independent in a new location, but also like comfort and great service. It was the perfect balance for me.

Very nice hotel, worth the experience!

The hotel is on Paradise Island, which is across a sea-crossing bridge from the main island. The hotel is relatively small. It is one of the four stars that is not very good. If you have the strength, you should pay more to live in Atlantis. There is a free small bar in the reception hall on the first floor. There are many people at night. The outdoor swimming pool is full of people during the day.

The hotel room was ok, although it was close to the beach but the room did not feel very humid. The facilities in the room are old and the hair dryer in our room is a bit sticky. Breakfast options are relatively small. There are meats, eggs, bread, coffee, water, fruits, milk and oatmeal, which are almost the same. Five minutes walk from Atlantis Hotel, really close. With the room card and pink card given by the hotel, you can enter the water park of Atlantis. Still very convenient. From Nassau's airport, take a taxi to this hotel for about 45 dollars, 30 minutes. Personally, I do n’t think it ’s necessary to rent a car on Paradise Island.
