The property was beautiful. The grounds are well maintained. Our room was perfect and the decor and design of the whole property was gorgeous. The fitness classes were all really good! The squash courts were being renovated but once that is done that will be great. The food on site is delicious.

The location is difficult if you aren’t renting a car. Taxis are very expensive so it will cost $60 to 80$ US both ways if you want to go into town for dinner or if you want to explore a different area. You also can’t walk anywhere from the property. That being said if you are looking to relax and not do a lot of site seeing The Island House is perfect for that. The shuttle service to and from the beach works really well and Old Fort Bay beach is exquisitely beautiful. I wish that there were fridges in the room so that one could purchase their own snacks.

The staff, the beautiful location, and the room were all wonderful. Could not have been happier with this romantic get-away. The resort is arranged to maximize the feeling of calm and quiet. We felt extremely well cared for and rested after just a few days here. We had a rental car that we used to do some exploring (especially restaurants) on the island but really could have done without--rides to and from the beach were terrific. The beach was not as described in older reviews but it was, nonetheless, a treat.

The breakfast service and menu were quite variable during our stay. Given the excellent food and service everywhere else in the resort I will assume there was some temporary glitch in the morning routine

Most stunning property with intimate feel and kindest people working there from check in to restaurant and amazing valet, drivers and cleaning crew! Couldn’t ask for a better place in Bahamas! Driving was easy for the first time driving on the other side of the road. Super easy! It was helpful to have my own car on the island as hotel is about 10 minutes away from the airport. Absolutely loved the food at this magnificent property! Way better then anywhere else on the island!

The air didn’t get cool in the beautiful room.

A beautiful boutique hotel with large room and gorgeous bathroom. The pool area was very comfortable and the beach was also very pretty and secluded. Loved the fitness classes but be sure to book into them!

Not much. Taxis are very expensive but we hired a car which made the stay much more flexible. It’s in the nicer quieter part of the island but there isn’t a huge amount to do outside of the property. Prices are high everywhere but I suppose that is to be expected in The Bahamas. Gets very busy at the weekend with the members and their young children.

Very nice property.

Staff not always super friendly.

The hotel facilities are pristine, the rooms are large and well appointed, and the staff is exceptional. The hotel has three restaurants onsite, a movie theater, a private beach with country club level comforts, spa, 24-hour gym, a great bar (try Little Miss Rocksteady) and only 30 rooms in the whole place. The hotel is on the western side of Nassau Island which is away from the more touristy part of the island which was great for those interested in rest and relaxation. The private beach was the highlight of the trip.

The restaurants each had some exceptional dishes and some that were less than exceptional. When you made a good selection, you'll be very happy. Here's a few of the better dishes to try: Shima - salmon ponzu and twice-cooked beef short rib; Yellowbell - bacon cheeseburger; Morongo - tonnarelli neri al granchio and fettuccine al ragu; Island Pizza - Salsiccia. The only drawback to the location was the long rides to the casinos, fish fry, and night clubs in the touristy sections, but the serenity of "home" made it worthwhile.

Our stay at The Island House was dreamy! After a busy few days elsewhere on the island, we were ready to relax and we absolutely did. The team were so attentive from the moment we arrived, the food and drinks were delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. There were many touches that were really special, the fruit in the room, the beautiful Bamford spa products and the unbelievably peaceful gardens. The atmosphere all around The Island House was wonderfully relaxed. Thank you for a perfect stay!

Comfy bed! Beautiful room and patio Lovely big swimming pool Liked the beach option a lot Great restaurants

Water fountains to refill water bottles around the property would have been great Sun loungers were mostly in the shade, would have liked some at the end to catch the sun all day Sun cream at the pool would have been a nice addition Service at Shima was scatty (although food was delicious)

Beautiful, quite resort. Nice large room, with a terrace overlooking the sea. Beautiful pool and very good restaurants options (the Italian is pricey!). The private beach is 5 minutes drive from the hotel (transport provided). Service is excellent, everyone is friendly. There is also a gym and a studio with classes.

Fastidiously clean, either new or exceptionally well maintained furniture/fittings/spaces - genuinely looks great, lovely place to spend time.

Please just remember Lyford Cay is a little bit away from downtown - this is both an incredible strength (away from most tourist hustle/bustle), but if you’re keen to do that stuff - factor in a little commute.
