St. Augustine's Monastery

Nice downtown hotel- not much to do after 6pm as most things close down.

Very well appointed condo. Views are incredible. Beach area is small but lovely. Infinity pool was great and perfectly heated. Wonderful pickleball and paddle court that’s surrounded by beautiful foliage and open 24hrs. Staff was helpful and accommodating of our needs for a late checkout.

Our stay at Goldwynn Resort & Residences in Nassau had some genuinely nice aspects, but there were also several issues that are worth mentioning honestly. On the positive side, the property itself is beautiful and modern, and the rooms are spacious and well-designed, which made it comfortable to settle in. The overall aesthetic feels upscale and more boutique compared to many other places in Nassau. That said, a number of things took away from the experience. The beach, while visually pretty at times, had a significant amount of seaweed during our stay, which made it less enjoyable than expected and at times difficult to fully use. There were also a lot of birds around the resort, especially near the pool and beach areas, which became more of a nuisance than we anticipated. One particularly concerning moment was when a truck clearing seaweed drove very close to guests relaxing on the beach—my wife was nearly hit, with the truck missing her by about one lounge chair. It didn’t feel like guest safety was being handled as carefully as it should have been. Additionally, there was ongoing construction for an expansion of the resort, and the noise was noticeable enough to disrupt the otherwise relaxing atmosphere at times. Overall, Goldwynn has a lot of potential and delivers on design and comfort, but between the seaweed, the birds, the construction noise, and the safety concern we experienced, it didn’t feel like the fully polished luxury experience we were expecting.
