Our new home in Nassau!

This has truly become our home away from home in Nassau! In July 2024, during the largest global IT outage ever, our airline placed us here for four unexpected days while trying to get us back to the U.S. We enjoyed our stay so much that we returned in April 2025 by choice. The staff, amenities, location, and overall charm of the hotel were outstanding. Having stayed at other, more well-known resorts on the island, we still prefer the British Colonial and everything it offers. Relaxing on the beach and waving to passing ships is an experience that simply can't be matched!

Great hotel in a great location!

The hotel was very nice and the team were welcoming from start to finish. The whole property was very clean and our room was immaculate. We did have a problem with our shower which could not be fixed whilst we were in our room, but D did everything he could to help us and did so with a smile.

Best time at the British Colonial Nassau

Amazing stay at the British Colonial Nassau! Private beach and pools were incredible, never crowded. All the food from the various restaurants were great and all of the hotel staff was helpful, friendly and accommodating. And the hotel is right in downtown so you’re close to everything! I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone!
