Nathan's Lodge Reviews

We stayed at Nathan's Lodge with a group of 12 after staying on Paradise Island. It was the complete opposite in a good way. The hotel property is on an amazing beach. Beautiful white sand and crystal clear water. We had six kids of various ages in our group and they all had a blast in the water. I never saw anyone else on the beach. There is a gazebo at the edge of the property if you want to get out of the sun. There are only a few restaurants in the area so we mainly ate at Nathan's. They took fantastic care of us. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The table was decorated with beautiful flowers from the grounds. Coconuts were harvested from the property for drinks and desserts. Everyone there was so nice. It was difficult getting information online about activities and rental cars but Nathan arranged everything. He had 2 rental vans waiting at the airport. We had 2 divers in the group and the rest of us snorkeled. We explored blue holes in the ocean and in land. There were puppies and cats which our girls fell in love with. They were so sad to leave. However, if luxury hotels are your thing you will be disappointed. The rooms are not fancy but a good size and clean. The beds are comfortable and there was good a/c. South Andros is charming and unspoilt for now.

Nathans lodge is a motel quality place but if you take it as that it is GREAT. The service was amazing. Freeman who runs the motel picked us up from the airport and took us for dinner and back to airport. He tried to accommodate our food restrictions as best as possible and was a big help with everything The motel was at a very quiet, peaceful location by a beach and we had the beach ALL to ourselves one day. There were also kittens and dogs around the place so if you like animals you will love nathans lodge.

The room (two bedroom apartment actually) was adequate for our needs. we were three guys visiting for fishing and beach time after a long Michigan winter. The bedrooms were quiet, comfortable and air conditioned. The bathroom was fine, and the towels and linens provided were just right. The kitchen had a stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and pots and plates and utensils. No bugs, no smells, no dirt. Freeman Smith, the general manager, was courteous and attentive. He was able to provide meals when we needed them even though we did not purchase the all-included meal plan. He was also a great help in referring us to fishing guides and snorkel diving operators. The local restaurant, Skipper's, just down the beach, was great for dinner almost every night. That all said, it was not perfect. Expedia charged my credit card for all four nights lodging in January when I made the reservation, rather than when we actually used the room. When reservations were made, the lodge advertised a complimentary continental breakfast, which did not exist when we arrived in April. Similarly, shuttle from the airport was to be complimentary, but we had to pay the taxi driver $40 each way (even though the absentee proprietor Nathan had told me the taxi would be $20). Some would call the furnishings shabby, and the decor less than first class. For instance, it appeared that a crack in the kitchen wall had been repaired, and when the new plaster was painted, it was another color.

Besitzer (Freeman) ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Hat sich stets bemüht unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Der Strand ist Traumhaft und nur 1 Minute vom Hotel entfernt. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt und können es nur weiterempfehlen.
