Blue Water Resort on Cable Beach

I haven't read any reviews of this place before going there, which was a mistake. I read few after I returned, and it seems that my experience was very similiar to everybodey elses. Basically, people who stayed in the Ocean View "villas" were very satisfied, and people who stayed in the Garden View "villas" hated it. I stayed in the Garden View unit. The floors were dirty, AC was very loud (it was located in the master bedroom), there was no patio furniture, only two bathrooms (as compared to three in the Ocean View units), third floor was hot, furniture and beds were run down, no fresh beach towels on daily basis, VERY small pool (much smaller than in the picture) and almost non existing beach. Tiki bar had very few options, and all the Ocean View villas were occupied by people who own time share there (all of them were seniors who are coming to this place for the last ten years at least). This place is not a resort. There is no room service, no maid service, no shampoo, conditioners or shower gels in the bathrooms. These units are basically vacation rentals. Some of the units are facing the street which is very busy and very loud. Maybe it is the cheapest option on Cable Beach (I was able to book Sheraton at the same price,...), but I don't recommend it if you're planning on staying in the "resort" and relaxing. If you do decide to stay there, avoid Garden View units at all cost.

Clean, staff very helpful& friendly! Guest pleasant& fun. Able to get around easily & Bahamians very helpful. Felt safe & request attended to very timely.

We greatly enjoyed spending our Christmas on the beach in The Bahamas. Would do this again in a heart-beat!! Loved the fun in the sand and sun!

I'm not a high maintenance traveler -- I prefer to be out exploring rather than sitting in my hotel room. And with that said, Cable Beach Resort didn't meet even my fairly lax expectations. Pros: - Ok location, if you have a car rented. Close to grocery, a few restaurants, Cable Beach. Not close to downtown Nassau or airport. - Decent price. Cons: - This hotel does NOT have a beach. The waves crash way too close to the sea wall to sit on the beach. We had to drive to the Sheraton down the street to sit on a beach. - Wifi is a joke. You can't get it in your room. - Not clean. We both got bitten up every night in bed -- by what, I don't know. There were ants everywhere in the kitchen and bathroom the day we checked in. Also, a huge hairball behind the bed. Among other things. - Like a lot of New Providence, it's pretty run down. The kitchen had some nice features, but most of the furniture needed replacing. Other thoughts: - This is more like a condo rental, not a resort. Don't expect maid or room service. There isn't any. - Would benefit from a LOT of landscaping. Gravel entryway into the apartment has no curb appeal.

AWEFULL!!! We arrived in the middle of hurricane Sandy and there was NO ONE at the resort. There was a letter at the Security Guard Entrance saying that they were not receiving guests due to the hurricane!! We called ahead BEFORE we boarded the flight to Nassau to make sure that the resort had power and knew about the delay. We were ASSURED that someone would be there and our rooms ready. WHAT A JOKE!!! STAY AWAY!!!

It was nice relaxing, they provide you with everything from a stereo for music to a grill...I loved my time here and I felt safe

location was walking distance to liquor store and bar, security was nice and felt safe beach was beautiful and our room was beautiful, plus the price was the best yet, i have stayed in the wyndham and sheridan and breezes and i will definitely be back to blue water

the rooms were spacious good for family.we were able to cook and saved us a lot .the sorroundings not that great for teenagers.my friend and I were a little nervous whenever our teenagres tried to explore the area during the night.Im so happy that evrything in the kitchen works.But not all the door keys were working.The side glass door cant be locked so we were a little scared in the beginning but when we realized that the area was safe we didnt bother.the staff were friendly so were the locals.I wont mind coming back but my friend told me she wont and she actually booked us at the Sheraton on our last 2 days because there were a lot going on there for our teenagers.over all i will come back.and will recommend it to my friends who are looking for a budgeted family getaway.

I loved the location and my whole experience. I have stayed at the Wyndham, Sheraton and Breezes and by far this was my favorite. Cost was more reasonable, location was better, you had more privacy and felt like home away from home. I highly recommend Blue Water and plan to go back again.

This is a great vacaqtion spot. It is a condo and not a hotel room. Plenty of room we had 1 bedroom room with king size bed and 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds. Hugh kitchen/dining/living room. Meals are not available, we had cereal for breakfast and went out for dinner. You do have to wash your own towels if you need them during your stay, but do not have to wash them when you leave. The staff is great. There is work going on in other sections but if you don't mind a little noise the benefits out way the minuses. It is a great place depending on what you want. Privacy, no hussle, and room makes this place a plus..
