It is a lovely location with a fantastic beach and wonderful views from the beachside apartments. Whilst not quite up to the standards that we have experienced in other comparable hotels, that did not detract from us having a lovely time.

Wonderful location and wonderful staff. However bathrooms need updating, menu needs daily specials ,more shade needed on the beach( we eventually asked for beach umbrellas but they should be put out every morning. Tvs should be in rooms. It should be asked if you want a tv. And maybe after dinner activities. Karaoke ??

Beautiful and pristine location with super friendly and nice staff made this a superb experience. Loved the fact that even at what seemed to be a peak season, the number of people was minimum giving at times the impression that you had the place for your family only. We will definitely return.

Wonderful!

We had a lovely four night stay in this idyllic spot. The beach is perfect - amazing white sand with lovely clear water. A real opportunity to get away from it all and a long way from the crowded tourist hotels of Nassau. Many guests return and I can understand why. Our two boys (10 and 14 years) loved it too.

Staff was wonderful. Grounds are well-maintained and clean. Rental cars were available on-site. For those who are new to snorkeling or have kids, there's a good spot at the gut at the northern end of the property if people aren't fishing there. Snorkeling's also good at the Columbus monument's beach, a short drive north of CSMBR.

Gorgeous views but the room was outdated. The bathroom towel rack fell off the wall, the sink facet had no pressure so they removed the screen which just made the water spray everywhere when in use, and the shower handle kept falling off. Also the toilet was leaking. They need some serious updating. The property location was stunning but we couldn’t enjoy it after 5pm because the sand flies were out. They were so horrendous. Because of the screened windows and slated doors, the sand flies were in our room and bit me all night every night. I tried everything from keeping the fan on to putting oil on and sleeping with candles. The sand flies were pure torture. I left the island with around 200 bites on my entire body. The staff were great and the food was pretty good. I would recommend upgrading to the villa. Perhaps they are better than the bungalows.

This property is absolutely beautiful! Hardly anyone on the beach, very laid back. Not everything is perfect, our safe didn't work, could only lock door from inside villa, they didn't have the proper tip to inflate our floaties, but you have to remember you are in a remote area. You also have to remember you are on island time!! No one is in a hurry. We loved this place and will be back.
