Bahamas Cheap Holidays

We left a terrible experience at the Baha Mar to come to the British Colonial and it saved our vacation! It was the relaxing getaway that we needed. The hotel and beach were beautiful, we loved the lounging area before the pool where we quietly rested while our son napped. Exactly what we needed which is what we didn’t get at the Baha Mar, sun and serenity. The staff is INCREDIBLE and definitely contributed to a memorable experience, with the exception of an odd few. We dined at the buffet every morning and every single staff member there was a pleasure, especially Cindy. We also dined at the lunch/dinner restaurant a couple of times where we also had a great experience. The gentlemen on the beach crew were exceptional, especially Ken! Although I would say the beach bar/restaurant does not meet the excellence of the rest of the hotel. The service was definitely not as friendly, it was slow and seemed kind of careless. We avoided it after a couple of satisfactory experiences. The hotel is in a good location so we were able to grab food at other spots. I would also note that the rooms are small. We would have preferred queen beds over the double beds which is the usual standard, and our shower was tiny! But overall it was a good experience.

The property was pretty good. It was in better shape than what I read on some of the comments with reviews. Food was decent. It could be a little bit higher quality. The desserts were great. The buffet was pretty good. The breakfast buffet was pretty basic in the same every day. It would be nice for it to mix it up a little bit like they do lunch and dinner. The staff was awesome. There’s just one front desk person named Tula and she was awesome and helped me every day I was there. I wish they would had a better or an actual gift shop within inside the property for basic amenities, etc. The entertainment was awesome. The vibe was great. The room itself was very nice loved the shower finally found a place that had a great shower.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – Hidden Gem with Amazing Views & Hosts We had an awesome stay at A Stone's Throw Away—this place is a true hidden gem. The location is perfect—close to everything but still quiet and relaxing. The views are absolutely incredible, especially overlooking the ocean—great spot to sit, unwind, and just take it all in. What really made the stay stand out was the staff. Shan, Treasure, Chris, and John were all amazing—super friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. They genuinely made us feel at home and made the trip even better. THANK YOU! Everything was clean, comfortable, and easy, and we had zero issues during the stay. It was exactly what we were looking for. The Indian restaurant on site was excellent as well. I had the Curry chicken and rice. My wife had the Penne pasta chicken. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nassau.

The ocean was not visible from our room, however, a short walk brought us to the ocean, sound, pools, and restaurant. The accommodations were worn but clean and comfortable.

The property is older and the cove rooms are worn and need to be refreshed as do the bathrooms. Big complaint about pool water temperature being too cold -- we did not swim at all in the pool, and it is the main reason for being there. Pool temps should be much warmer and advertised as other resorts do. We will not come back as other resorts have much warmer pool temps. Not enough beach chairs with sun covers at the cove beach or the pool. -- these 2 activities are the main reason people choose to come here -- so really needs to be addressed -- a truly lovely resort - if they can attend to these items
