Renovated hotel but service in all areas is lacking. Took over an hour to get a bowl of soup in the restaurant. Coffee bar does not take room charge or cash or American Express. Please beware check out per person takes over 10 minutes. Room smells like Clorox and we had no hot water in the shower. During the day, the area is very safe, but after the cruise ships leave and the store is closed. Please be careful.

Liked that it was small and easily accessible. Food was good but breakfast overpriced. Orders wrong on several occasions..servers didn’t care… since wait was soo long never would change to get order right. Expedia should have told us there was a $100/day US surcharge.. overall would go again but do things a bit differently

There are not recycling containers at all. The small breakfast serving spot has terrible food and no vegan options. The service is decent but not excellent. Our room was super noisy at night maybe from the AC or the small refrigerator. We couldn’t figure it out but if you have light sleep be careful what room you get!

My stay was incredible—everything was wonderful. However, due to a medical emergency with my daughter, I had to return on Sunday and could only use one of the three nights I paid for. I kindly ask if you could apply the unused nights as credit for a future stay, as this situation was beyond my control. I can provide medical emergency proof upon my return to Miami. I appreciate your understanding and assistance.

We loved the hotel! The amenities are wonderful, the detail and care put into the care of the property is great. And, the private beach is perfect. A few things to note, a few staff members are a little rude (in the dining side, specifically the sushi restaurant and the bar outside- I forget the names of the place). I hate to dock points because of a few people because most of the staff was lovely. Another aspect to note is that the hotel doesn’t pick up their phone from the listed number, which can be a little frustrating. Other than that, a wonderful experience & good location.

Wonderful hotel in Paradise

I spent a 4 night solo mini-vacation at the lovely British Colonial Hotel. The food and drinks were superb. I never had a problem finding a lounger by either pool or on the beach. One of the nights the people in the room next to me were loud and trying to come into my room through the locked adjoining door. The manager, Vanria, graciously moved me to a quieter room with a fantastic view for my last night.

We enjoyed the spaciousness of our room and the spectacular view. The grounds are immaculate and the pool areas are very nice! The beds are very very firm and pillows are uncomfortable. The sixth floor always smelled bad but fortunately the smell didn’t enter our room. We loved the lounge entertainer who won Bahamian Idol, Patrice Murrell. She is AMAZING! The servers were very helpful and friendly. The beach is nice but a little small and the swimsuits are even smaller so I would say not the most family friendly resort for that reason.
