“Perfect Get-A-Way”

We had a wonderful time at Orange Hill! Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and like part of the family. We got a real sense of the laid back and friendly Bahamian culture. We definitely would recommend this hotel. It's perfect for divers too because its the closest to Stuarts Cove. Please note, that if you are looking for a "dress-code enforced resort/spa" type vacation this is probably not the place for you.

“If you want no frills”

Nice quiet location, away from major tourist areas of Nassau. A spectacular view from balcony of the ocean. Nice beach across the street. Perfect hotel for travelers looking for a simple room with a bed and TV. Also very close to the airport, but no noise. Very close to two popular dive charter's. The one drawback is the dearth of resturants nearby, it is probably a 15-20 minute drive to where the majority of resturants are.(Nassau) The hotels resturant is about on par with an aging diner. Overall a pleasant place to stay.

“Home from Home”

A lovely place to stay, and I would definately recomend this to anyone, couples or families. Just a stones throw away from the beach, and easy access to the cable beach resorts (via a short bus trip $2). I hired a scooter for the day and had a tour of the Island, came accross the Bacardi Brewery (they do daily visits, but close early on Friday) with Gifts and taster sessions. On arrival at the Hotel, one tip would be to ask what is available on your stay, as they may not be forth coming in telling you (only downpoint). For example, the Honour Bar system and the Internet access - you may not know these facilities are available unless you ask. They also lend out snorkelling gear, and other water stuff. Overall a wonderful place to stay, with a real homely atmosphere...

“Great Place to Chill Out”

Very laid back place, but top notch service. Excellent location to scuba diving and gorgeous beach directly across street. Wonderful louge/gathering place to meet other visitors and discuss day's adventures. Lots of divers frequent here. Town is a short bus ride away. This is not the place for you if you're looking for entertainment and nightlift. But excellent place to unwind and relax with "no worries mon".

“Fantastic stay!”

My boyfriend and I stayed here for our week-long trip, and we had a WONDERFUL time. This was my 2nd stay at Orange Hill. It's away from the main hotels on Cable Beach, which is both good and bad. You esentially have a private beach, and the pool and dining room is never crowded, and it's a wondefully relaxing environment. The only "problem" is the distance to things to do. During the day, it's not really an issue, as the bus stops right at the bottom of the hill and is only $1 per person to ride. After 6, however, you have to take a cab ($15 to Cable Beach, more for downtown). The staff is VERY nice and friendly, and they were always willing to help us out whenever we needed anything. Breakfast and lunch (we never ate dinner) is very inexpensive. If you're the type of person that is looking for lots of frills in your hotel, this isn't going to be the place for you. But, if you just want a nice, relaxing place to stay, and a beautiful uncrowded beach, Orange Hill is perfect. Like I said, this was my 2nd stay at the hotel, and if we return to Nassau, we'll definitely stay here again.

“Excellent Family Vacation!”

If you want to experience the Bahamas, Orange Hill Inn is the place to go! The hotel was not fancy, but was comfortable and had a fantastic location with a reef right out front. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Travel around the island was easy with the #10 bus ($1 per person) passing right in front of the hotel constantly throughout the day. If you want a Las Vegas type vacation don't stay here, but if you want a real feel for the Bahamas this is the perfect place! Orange Hill Inn has new bungaloes which are absolutely gorgeous and immaculate but not advertised on line. Definitely ask about those. That is where we sill stay next time. We traveled with 3 kids, had 2 rooms poolside and loved it. Excellent food! Inexpensive. Everyone I met on snorkel trips, in the airport or on the plane stayed at a popular hotel on Paradise Island and everyone of them said they would not go back! There biggest complaint was the absurd food prices in that area. I highly reccomend this hotel to those adventurers who want to experience the Bahamas and do not need someone to entertain them constantly. We had the entire beach to ourselves all week. The trees and flowers were gorgeous and in a natural setting.

“A GREAT LIL' DIVING AND LAIDBACK HOTEL. (:”

I truly enjoyed The Orange Hill Inn. It is a nice lil' diving and couples inn. This is not a wild-party animal Inn...rather, It is a nice, clean, older place for Scuba divers, mature couples, newlyweds, mature singles, families (with well behaved children). The location is lovely as it is situated on top of a hill overlooking the ocean. I recommend asking for rooms: #u1, u2, u3 or u4...as they give you the ocean view. All the staff was great! An added plus: the #10 bus pickes and drops folks off right in front of the Orange Hill Inn, the fare is one dollar to downtown's Bay st., Nassau. In addition: Stuart Cove's Diving shop will pick and drop off: "Bubble Blowers" at the Inn. You cannot go wrong by booking at the Orange Hill Inn.

“Nice for the price”

We enjoyed our stay at Orange Hill. The staff were helpful and pleasant. There is a nice beach across the street where I saw a very large ray as well as a decent amount of colorful fish while snorkeling.

“Only a few issues”

Friendly and relaxed staff. The A/C filters had recently been cleaned, but the A/C was not strong enough to properly cool the room, but not too bad for us cold-blooded types. The kitchenette had a few rag-tag pieces of flatware, not enough for two people, and rag-tag dishes and such as well. The toilet handle and sink handle were loose and the toilet handle would not flush/drain properly unless held down for a while. Had a little ant invasion in the shower also. Strangely two of the 4 pillows were in the closet. The safe had no lock, just an empty hole where a lock cylinder should be. Daily maid service has a key to the room, but did not disturb the valuables or cash in the room. Great little low-key place. Out of the way, which is nice, but taxis can add up. A gypsy cab costs $20-$22 to go into town and the same to get back. In the off-season (such as September) the #10 jitney bus did NOT come every 15 minutes, but rather every 40 minutes to 1 hour, so you'll be waiting in the sun. Don't forget your sunscreen. The wait isn't so bad though, being right by the little ocean beach. All depends what you expect out of a place. I loved it and would go again.

“We will come back aggain and we will recomend this hotel to our friends, very good value”

Very nice small hotel. Good location - beautifull beach. Staff very friendly.
