The hotel property was beautiful and majority of the staff was excellent. The breakfast, with the Aqua Bar, was spectacular. My only complaint would be that there wasn't enough activities provided on the actual property.

This was an amazing location to everything you need or want to do in Nassau. I have stayed here several times and have no complaints. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the view was great. People who complain are missing the idea of staying on a island. The staff is great and I will be back next year.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was AMAZING. I'm confused by any bad reviews as well. It was very clean, the staff was outstanding, and the beach was bigger then I thought after reading others say it was so small. The biggest shout out goes to the concierge! Juan and Tristan were the best of the best and... More

My wife and I stayed at the British Colonial for a few days to rest and recuperate before going to the Yoga Ashram across the bay. While the taxes and the food were a bit on the pricey side, we did have a good time. The private beach was clean and pleasant. There were a variety of beach and pool... More

We stayed here for a week and loved it. There were some complaints about beach and cruise ships coming and leaving, but for us it was just regular entertainment to watch how massive ships are spinning in such narrow space. The beach never been over full, some free chairs always been available. Water was clean and transparent with sandy bottom... More

I reviewed this resort last year, essentially saying that we liked it so much we were going to go back. Well we did, and with no regrets. My wife and I felt that if anything, they had upped their game. There were subtle but noticeable enhancements. The poolside restaurant and bar had been repainted, there was a new expanded deck...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Situated on downtown Nassau’s only private beach and the site of Old Fort Nassau, the British Colonial Hilton in the Bahamas has undergone a multi-million renovation throughout all areas of the hotel, and offers a taste of the island’s rich history, along with some of the most modern amenities for both business and vacation travelers. What’s more the hotel is only 25 minutes from Nassau (Lynden Pindling International) Airport. The hotel is a true Bahamian experience with a marble-tiled lobby and is studded with palm trees under a skylight ceiling. There are 288 luxuriously appointed guest rooms with harbor or island views. All rooms are furnished with tasteful decor, complemented by separate shower and bathtub. One-bedroom suites offer a separate living area with sofa bed, and Executive accommodations are also available along with the Executive Lounge, where attentive hotel staff assures that every need and whim will be met during your stay. Recreational activities are convenient and varied for leisure and business travelers alike. A 300-ft long private white sand beach is furnished with lounge chairs and thatched sunshades overlooking the harbor offering a peaceful and secluded access for an ocean swim or a day in the sun. Use of kayaks and snorkeling gear on the beach is complimentary. Bordered on one side by a tropical garden, the hotel's freshwater pool offers harbor views and has an expansive sundeck with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Both the sundeck and beach offer views of cruise ships moored nearby, and of the western tip of Paradise Island, 300 yards offshore. Guests can snooze in hammocks on the lawn adjacent to the pool. The property can also organize trips out reef snorkeling island exploring, boating, golf, tennis and scuba diving. For dining options, Aqua is a fun, casual restaurant serving international favorites with a Caribbean flair, or guests can meet up for cocktails at the Bullion Bar. The new Bullion Bar is the 'place to be seen' for happy hour with great drink specials and tasty snacks. ... more   less
