"Lonah is an asset to the business, fantastic communication pre and during our stay. We stayed in Abacus cottage which was lovely and comfortable and had modern facilities and excellent AC. We used the kayak which was great and enjoyed our time on the sun beds and soaking in the warm sea. Lonah provided excellent tips for places to visit and eat out at, we especially like NRG, turn right at the road and carefully cross the road and go past Swiss Pastry shop and NRG is upstairs within the next shops, sells tasty shakes and wonderful wraps, shrimp and chicken being our favourites, Social Sushi & Johnny Canoe Cafe great for evening food and close by. During our stay in Bahamas we have continued to use Lonah’s suggested taxis contact - Big Mama (aka Leona), she is great and very knowledgeable, we are still using here now. Jitney bus has to be experienced and can either be caught from a bus stop or you just wave at the driver and they will stop, $1.50 per person, Fish Fry approx. 15 mins away on the bus, downtown approx 25mins depending on traffic.
We would recommend to all to stay at Blue Ocean Village as you can enjoy the deserted beach away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Nassau, but still easily access it via Jitney or private taxis.
Thanks Lonah for making our stay perfect!"
"Service was good overall. Our room however, left much to be desired. The mattress was lumpy, the toilet worked on occasion, there was a stench emanating from the shower stall and the security box needed fixing. To their credit, it was fixed. The food was OK but expensive. Everywhere we went, food was expensive. The hotel is right next to the port where the megaships dock and release thousands of tourists into the quaint downtown by 8:00AM. By five thirty most of the stores close and the place is desolate. The hotel appears to be located on a side of Nassau that is exposed to winds; more so when compared to the Grand Hyatt that we visited. The weather was not conducive for swimming (2/6-2/9), as the weather was in the high 50s to low 60s with excessive winds. If you like fish fry, this is your kind of place. Be prepared to dole out almost $100 (US) for two; and this is without alcoholic beverages. Pelegrino is $13! Cocktails can run in excess of $25. The one saving grace was that the Bahamians were very nice; friendly, cordial and gregarious."
