A Stone's Throw Away

It is great for its location. Close to airport and meetings. As a transit stop it is fantastic. A superior Bed and Breakfast, but typical Bahamas plumbing and ordinary food. Excellent staff. Not for anyone with difficulty climbing stairs.

Our 3 night stay was dampened by the bad weather. While the hotel doesnt have the glitzy facilities of some name brands it was a cozy andf relaxing atmosphere to sit back and watch the rain. The large balcony was perfect for relaxing outside the room. Meals are tasty but basic. That said the home made cookies were brilliant. The staff were always helpful.

What a beautiful place. The staff was so friendly and very accommodating. You can make yourself feel rite at home. They have a coffe/tea bar set up that you can help yourself to day or night free of charge. All other drinks including alchohol are based on the honor system. This is not a place I would recommend to bring the family (kids would be bored). But if you want a romantic getaway, lots of R and R this is the place for you. Free shuttle two and from the airport, free ride to the beach that is just up the road. Lovely complementary breakfast. The most amazing view of the ocean... beautiful gardens!! Highly reccommend!!

This is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, away from the insanity of Paradise Island and just beyond Cable Beach. The staff is very friendly. The pool and patio areas are beautiful as are the views. Breakfasts are included - hot made to order breakfast including omelets, pancakes, etc. You do need to be prepared for stairs. The hotel is built on top of a limestone cliff. You will climb about two flights through the cliff to the pool area, then one more to the lobby - no elevator. As long as this is not an obstacle, this is an ideal spot for couples and single travelers. The stairway tunneling through the cliff gives it the feel of a secret hideout.

I spent one night at ASTA after six days on Eleuthera. I wanted a place near the airport with a little character and style but not a completely bloated price, and this place more than met my expectations. Unique location, beautiful wrap around porches with a number of potential spots to take in the views while sipping a drink or reading a book. The nearest beach is a bit small, but I was told the place as an agreement with another closeby resort with a larger spread of sand. Honor bar system was a novelty and certainly made the whole experience more intimate. I had a room facing the sea. Wonderful floors and carpets and lovely final touches. Couldn't figure out how to lock my balcony door.

Terrific, small, personal hotel/bed and breakfast set high up and overlooking the ocean. Stunning views. Island style accommodation with beautiful porches off bedrooms. Chris and his lovely staff couldn't be more accommodating, helpful, or cheerful. Our room was upgraded to an ocean view halfway through our week at no additional cost. We hired a car for the week, but John is always willing to drop off and pick up guests who have no transportation. We mentioned a couple of minor problems with the room and they were put right immediately and cheerfully! There are many steps to climb to reach the property, so this is not a place for anyone who has difficulty getting around (the only reason for the 4/5 score for location). The beach just down the hill is a little rocky, but Nirvana Beach (about 3 minutes in the car) is perfect! The deck areas around ASTA are perfect for relaxing with an evening drink from the well-stocked honor bar. Breakfast is simple, but good. This is a beautifully relaxing out-of-the-way retreat!

I didn't call ahead to have the free shuttle pick me up( my fault) so it only cost me $10 for a taxi to take me. There was a doorbell at the bottom of a stone walkway and you let the person know your name and if you need a porter for your bags( i didn't realize this and carried them up two flights of stairs!) The staff were extremely pleasant and very willing to offer/explain anything. The first person i met got me registered to my room and when i asked about a good restaurant was quick with a reference. The views from the inn's balconies were beautiful!! It was also very quiet inside the room. ( I think i was the ony guest) Everyone was very nice an and they offered a delicious hot breakfast in the morning. I coulde choose between eggs, sausage, waffles, bacon, along with an assortment of cereals and fruit.

Lovely quiet place. We booked the suite, which was gorgeous! Friendly staff, will drive you to supermarket or airport. Or: love beach! Perfect quiet beach where you can rent snorkling gear and discover all the colourful fishes on your own. We liked this piece of paradise better than the busy crowded center of Nassau. You can also walk to the beach, but watch out for traffic! Hotel has free wifi and breakfast. If you like a quiet romantic getaway, definitely recomended!

The house is beautiful, the accommodations clean and comfortable, and the surroundings are simply gorgeous. The staff is super friendly but they give you privacy. It's a wonderful spot for people who want to get away from it all. There are no shopping places or activities (other than the pool at the hotel) anywhere nearby, so rent a car if you want to do anything other than stay at the hotel and nearby beach. (There is a public bus, but it comes by infrequently on this end of the island, and there are no buses at all after 7 pm.) The hotel has a restaurant, but it's very expensive. There is a more reasonably priced and very good restaurant around the corner, but that's it. If you're happy to stick around the hotel, those two options will suffice. If you like variety or you are staying longer than a few nights, you will need that car to get to other dining options.

A Stone's Throw Away is a wonderful vacation B&B. [...] and [...] a wonderfully nice people and the staff are amazing!!! I would definitely go back.
