Reviews and Ratings
What a wonderful stay! The hotel offers clean and comfy rooms, with incredibly friendly staff. The dining options could be more varied, but the pool area is fantastic. The price is reasonable, though Wi-Fi comes at an extra cost.
My stay was absolutely fantastic! The hotel is located in a stunning place on Andros Island, Bahamas, surrounded by beautiful scenery and close to many activities. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, clean, and well-furnished with a good supply of drinking water, ensuring a cozy and convenient stay. The service was top-notch, with the staff being beyond wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly helpful, especially with divers with physical limitations. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking in variety. Overall, great value for money with outstanding service and an unbeatable location.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The location was breath-taking, with the azure-colored ocean right at my doorstep. The rooms were not only comfortable but also incredibly clean, and I never ran out of drinking water. The staff members were beyond wonderful and extremely knowledgeable, making me feel truly cared for during my entire stay. The dining options were great, especially the meaty pizza that I couldn't get enough of. While the facilities were top-notch, the only drawback was the limited options for add-ons to the salads at dinner.
