    Great hotel near the airport for overnight connections or a couple day stay.

    Getting a cab to and from the hotel if you're not coming from the airport is a bit challenging. We had to have our waiter drive us back from a nearby restaurant because the cab he ordered never came, and the cab we ordered for a 6am pickup through the hotel staff never came. We were forced to rely on the kindness of a neighborhood resident to take us to the airport as there was no one on staff at 6am to help us when our taxi didn't show up. It would be good if the the hotel was staffed earlier to help get people to the airport or give guests the name and number of the taxi driver so they can follow up themselves. The neighborhood is a lovely residential neighborhood with restaurants and bars about a 15-20 minute walk away. Unfortunately, there are no sidewalks or streetlights, so getting back after dark requires a taxi.

    The Stones Throw Away is a great hotel for arriving in Nassau and connecting to a flight the next day to another island in the Bahamas. It's a quick cab ride from the airport, there's a nice pool and the rooms are very comfortable. The veranda is a beautiful place to enjoy a cocktail or breakfast - which we unfortunately didn't have since we had an early flight in the morning.

    Only one of our pillows was soft - it would have been nice to have had another.

    The property has lots of character - unlike the larger hotels in Nassau. It’s not a luxury hotel but it’s comfortable. The rooms are spacious. We had a room overlooking the garden but in fact because the hotel is on a hill we had far reaching views over the residential areas of Nassau which was lovely. We could see the airport in the distance but we couldn’t hear the planes. We would definitely book again.

    We could hear the people walking around, etc. ( 🫣) in the room above ours

    It’s in a quiet part of town- away from major tourist areas, but still very convenient for going out. We loved coming back to our little oasis with garden view. Our balcony was so lovely.

    Beautiful little gem... over looking the coast. Property sit up on a cliff. Convenient walk to a couple restaurants and only about a mile away from the airport. Staff was accommodating and even ran us to the airport when a taxi was slow to respond. We had a garden court room but the view from the room was still spectacular.

    It is the little things. The wifi is non-existent. The television in my room did not work. The shower head was stuck on a strange and sort of unpleasant setting.

    The staff is lovely, as are the grounds. The pool is in a beautiful garden. The view of the ocean is superb, and the ocean is a five minute walk down the hill. The hotel restaurant serves outstanding, truly outstanding Indian dishes, eaten on a lovely deck looking out on the sea. This hotel feels like a secluded paradise. A pleasant place to stay.

    When you leave the hotel there isn’t a specific walk way to get to the local beaches or restaurants. You have to be very careful because the cars are going fast and there’s blind spots. Potentially dangerous.

    We liked the location of the property set in an elevated position with sea view. Consequently there are numerous steps so not suited to guests with young children or people with mobility issues. It’s a small hotel in a less tourist developed area of the island. It felt more personal staying here compared to a large resort. There are some good restaurants within walking distance. We had dinner at the property one evening. The chef prepared an Indian meal to our specific requests and it was delicious.
