Reviewed May 9, 2022
This is a small private property on the south side, away from all the tourists. Most days we had the beach to ourselves which was quite peaceful, perfect for reading and relaxing. You can walk along for quite a while, but take water socks. The beach is not ideal for swimming - too shallow and rocky, but the snorkeling is pretty good! Lots of sea stars, snails, coral, conch, ferns and other life to keep you entertained. Yes, you need a car and best to bring supplies from home - you'll need shampoo, conditioner, tissue, paper towel, etc. There are two groceries nearby at the same prices as the larger groceries. We bought breakfast and lunch staples to make our meals and own drinks. The fridge is a good size and the freezer held a bag of ice which lasted us all week. They do have free WiFi at the Sandbar at the front of the property, but unfortunately, the WiFi signal doesn't work in the rooms. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. We had room 32 and had a little outdoor patio to hang wet suits on chairs, and an outdoor picnic table to have meals. Vanessa, the owner/operator is very accommodating. Just ask and she'll provide you with what you need. If you want the pristine white beach and party atmosphere, with five-star tiny rooms and huge prices, stay on Cable Beach or Paradise Island.

The room had a functional TV in the bedroom. Bathroom was small but hey, everything worked so no complaints! This property loses two stars simply because it's too shallow to swim off the beach and there is no pool as some of the sites advertise. It's also within walking distance to Stuarts Cove dive and snorkel office / tour office if you're into that. Also, there is a pizza place and take out nearby.

Yes, it is quite remote, but with a car you're really only ever 15-20 min from where you want to be. It's a different experience - again, if you expect the party scene this is not for you. If you like preparing your own meals, chatting with locals, and chilling on a natural beach, driving around, keep an open mind and give this diamond in the rough a chance.

I flew to Nassau to scuba dive.

The staff here was very kind and helpful, dedicated to making my stay great. They provided a complimentary taxi to and from the airport and the taxi man, Mr King, was friendly, courteous and prompt.

This property is located in a quiet area away from the touristy parts of the island and has its own beautiful beach with covered and uncovered seating to enjoy. The water was gorgeous.

There is free parking onsite but since the dive shop, Stuart Cove’s, is across the street I did not need a car.

My place had a small kitchen with stove and refrigerator, a bedroom with king sized bed and a living area with a futon couch. It was very comfortable.

There are two bar/restaurants onsite and one has live music on Sunday nights. The owner also has other entertainment scheduled at various times.

The food here is wonderful and the pricing was very reasonable, especially, after hearing the prices for meals other divers paid where they stayed.

I will definitely stay here again when I return. It is the place to stay when diving Nassau as far as I am concerned.

This is ridiculous! How this place gets 3 stars, I have no idea. The people here are some of the sweetest and most hospitable people you will find on the island. We spent our first few days running around to places (like Paradise Island) that were supposed to be all the rage....we were not happy. We stumbled upon this place by accident. We did so on New Year's Day. Shawnee and Vanessa were great. They offered us the facilities at the same rate as if we were staying there. We paid the same as others. We were blown away. I work in the hospitality industry and can see when someone is actually trying to exceed expectations. They most certainly did. They finally broke the spell. Until this point, we did not feel a whole lot of warmth from the locals. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. Maybe most of the reviews online are B.S. But.....this one....however...is not. I would leave a number for you to call me if I could to give them my referral to you personally. Don't believe the bad reviews. Some people just don't know how to roll with the new. Enough said.

KEEP OUT!!!!! KEEP OUT!!!!

I've just come back from my vacation on New Providence and I've stayed at the Coral Harbour Hotel. I can say it has been a mistake to book there.

The pictures in the web are old an not realistic.The facility is dirty, scruffy, with no minimum of organization you can expect from a hotel. It is really in the middle of nowhere, with few connections to the center of Nassau, even though you have a car, a motorbike or want to spend money on taxi, as I did, not having a car.
I stayed 1 week and for some days I've been the one and only guest of the hotel present on the beach. I also had the feeling of having been really the only human being in the structure for some hours (the reception was closed, no waiter/waitress around and no telephone in the room in case of needs).

In my opinion, the only positive features are:
1) you experience the real life of the Bahamians, not the fake one of the gorgeous hotel;
2) as happaned to me, you can have your own carribean beach, being alone for variuos hours, with a wonderful and warm coloured sea;
3) if you are a 007 James Bond fan, at the end of the street there is a marine base with an abandoned concrete structure on which they have shot the initial scene of "007 Casino Royal" with Daniel Craig. Even,inside the base, there is what is left of the old Coral Harbour Hotel of the 60's on which some scenes of "007 Thunderball" were shot.

@Vanessa: you asked me to write a comment....here it's and, as I've told you, it wouldn't be positive..

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay here.
This place offers you beautiful views, a quiet private beach, friendly staff, clean rooms and the food here was fantastic!
It's perfect for the winter time because the sun sets on this end of the island so you can get some Sun all the way till the evening. We brought our snorkels (they rent some there as well) and spent hours looking at the fish, starfish, sea urchins and all the fun little creatures.
They offer kayaks for rent which we wish we would have done since there are a few islands you could go to.
There are no stores nearby so make sure you bring snacks if you get hungry easily like I do - But they do offer breakfast, lunch and dinner and as I mentioned earlier the food is great!
Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. If you are looking for a place to relax, unwind and not crowded, this is your spot!

Room tip: If you can't stay away from your phone you may need to ask for a room with wifi. But the bar does have wifi that you can access.
