“Very nice trip”

My fiance and I just got back on Saturday December 16, 2006. We had the most relaxing and tranquill time at thia villa. It was very clean and the staff was very firendly. So were the residents. Beware that the food is very very expensive everything on Paradise Island is very very expensive. The double what we pay in the States. Go downtown and buy your souveniers.Overall We had a very romantic and quiet time. Enjoy!

“Clean, Quiet, Friendly”

A Great place to stay on Paradise Island as long as you can live with a 10 minute walk to the Beach and Casino. Very Quiet and Relaxing Atmosphere. Room was spacious and well kept. 3 pools and very few people at them. Staff was Friendly. I spent alot of time at the Casino at the Atlantis but was very happy to be staying at the Best Western.

“Excellent value”

I found this hotel through Expedia and must say I was pleasantly surprised at the accomodations. While not luxurious, it definitely earned its three star rating. It is a modest facility, but the room was spotless! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They went over and above what was necessary in making our stay the best it could be. For the dollar, the value can't be beat. Very quiet - not the place to go if you are looking for activity and nightlife. Only drawback for vacationers is no beach access. Overall, though, it is definitely worth the money.

“Great place for family”

We were very pleased with our stay! The rooms were very clean and spacious. My husband and I, along with two teens, had plenty of room--and it was a quick walk to the beach or to town. It was a great value for the money spent.

“VERY RELAXING”

YES

“Best Value Self Catering Hotel Near Best Beach”

A fab choice for the right price. My husband and I are seasoned travellers around the world on all types of budgets. This was a weeklong vacation where we didn't want to go over $2G total for flights/accoms.. we just wanted to totally relax, be healthy and not spend too much money. This hotel was perfect if you want to do that. This is not the place if you're looking to party hard with other travellers. It's a chilled vibe here. We had our own one bedroom apartment, the staff were great, choice of 3 clean and private swimming pools, our own balcony with table and chairs overlooking great tropical gardens, plenty of bright flowers and lots of birds around. The absolute best beach on the whole island is a 5 min walk away - Cabbage Beach. We easily bought a week's worth of groceries (including liquor) totalling $300 from the supermarket which was a $10 taxi ride away or a 15 min walk. The Bahamas either has ridiculously expensive restaurants or really crap fast food restaurants, so we are so glad we cooked our own healthy meals and made our own cocktails at home to save money. Everyone we met staying nearby at fancy joints like Atlantis was complaining about the expense, the crowds, the crap food and way too many kids. It seemed Atlantis is great if you have kids.. not fun if you don't have kids!! We experienced none of these issues next door for a third of the price!

“Paradise away from the chaos that is Atlantis”

This little beauty of a resort is ideal for those who would rather not be part of the constant hustle and bustle of larger resorts. Having been to the Islands 3 times, I am saddened to see a particular large resort "taking over" all of the smaller, more unique hotels in their attempt to own Paradise Island. The Bay View is a small enclave of units, hidden behind walls and beautiful foliage. The pools are beautiful, the rooms are lovely, the people friendly. We were surprised by the size of the kitchen, and it had everything we needed. Since we were there over Christmas, our room had a small tree and we were given a gift of free champagne. The bathroom was always well-stocked with more towels than we needed. If I have one complaint, it is that the floors were not swept/cleaned often enough (we stayed for a week). The mini-mart located on premises had most of the staples we needed, at fairly reasonable prices. We will definitely go back, and we highly recommend you give it a try.

“A real gem”

Comfortable, relaxed lodging in a very convenient location.

“Perfect Anniversary Retreat”

I chose this hotel based on others' reviews and found it to be the perfect spot for celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The hotel staff was always ready to help in any way needed. It was convenient to shopping, the beach, and the ferry terminal, although there are taxis that are always willing to take you anywhere. We walked to Atlantis to explore, and were very glad to return to our quiet, peaceful suite. The three pools were never crowded with people, and it was relaxing to lie in the sun or the shade by the pool to chat with others that were also enjoying their choice of accommodations. If you want an escape from the hustle and bustle in a spacious suite, this is a perfect choice. Our only complaint was that the poolside bar closed at 4 PM daily. However, it was possible to buy adult beverages at the shopping area and keep them in your refrigerator for later. The small restaurant by the pool served up great breakfasts and lunches and also closed at 4:00. We found good dinners at Johnny Rockets, Hard Rock Cafe, Anthony's, Columbus Tavern, Twin Brother's Fish Fry, and aboard the Majestic Lady Dinner Cruise. Many were pricey, but the service was super everywhere! On an island where 80% of the GNP is tourism, they know how to please! We definitely plan to retun.

“Great place to stay”

The staff was very courteous and the rooms were very clean. We arrived late but the groceries were provided if for us to cook. When I go back to Nassau, I'll stay at the Best Western again.
