“A Wonderful Place to RELAX!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

My husband and I just returned from a four night stay at this gem in the Bahamas. We were particularly attracted to the remote location (about 10 miles away from the major resorts and downtown area). We were looking for a relaxing getaway and we were not disappointed! The entire staff was friendly and made sure our stay was a special one. The individual cabins make you feel completely separate (a far cry from the multi-level monstrosities on Paradise Island). Our room came complete with all the necessary amenities (fridge, microwave, toaster oven, hair dryer, nice TV, room safe, and a great sound system) and was quite comfortable (the bathroom was a little narrow but very clean). The service at the restaurant were also top-notch, although the food was somewhat hit-or-miss (the lamb was delicious but the sides were disappointing and breakfast was just OK). All-in-all it was a great experience and I can't wait to go back there again!

“Great alternative to the big resorts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

If you are not a big resort person and want a place to relax and get away from it all, this is it. We had our one year old with us and this place was extremely accomodating with him. There were several of the service staff that went above and beyond for us (the maintenance guy drove me to the store and back so I could be milk and food for our little one!). A couple of notes from out trip that may help you out: if you eat at the resturant, get the chef's seafood special, it is worth it; the bar seating has a separate less expensive bar menu that isn't advertised at all; west bay street is not pedestrian friendly so I would recommend a rental car if you want to leave the resort (cabs are expensive and they drive like maniacs); if you have an infant, book one the studios and bring your baby monitor as the pool and restuarant are 20 yards away and you can put your child down for naps or for the night and enjoy the pool or dinner with your spouse!
Pros: Fantastic location and ocean views, excellent service, good food at the restuarant (some of the wait staff are on island time), no need to leave the resort! Love Beach is not crowded at all.
Cons: Bed and pillows in room 103 were hard and old, need replaced. Band plays until midnight on weekends so it is noisy if you have a little one, the pool is not heated so it was too cold to swim for the most part. Love Beach is certainly not the best kept beach.

Room Tip: All rooms have great views of the ocean. We stayed in the less expense studio (103) which are right...

“Funky, off the beaten tourist path, a refreshing alternative to mega-hotels closer to Nassau and Paradise Island.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

A hidden gem, delightfully miles away from touristy mega-hotels. Staff is attentive but not overbearing. Loved everything about it.

“Great quick getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I needed a quick "de-stress" getaway, and wanted a warm climate, beach, ocean, and relaxation away from the big hotel/casino activities. This pleasant property fit our needs exactly. A unique resort, definitely not "generic", Compass Point took a little getting used to. The individual cottages provided clean, very comfortable (but not fancy) accommodations with a private porch/balcony facing the ocean, nice pool, hot tub. Besides the ambiance, the highlights were the very friendly and helpful staff, and the excellent restaurant/bar. The food was very good, and the restaurant is frequented by many locals on the weekend for the food and service. The massage arranged at the spa was very good. The well-trained and professional staff went out of their way to see we were well-cared for and our needs were met. This resort is in a neighborhood away from the downtown and tourist areas of Nassau, so if frequent trips to shop, eat, tour, etc. are planned, a car rental would be advised (taxi fare is outrageous in Nassau, $20-$35 per one-way trip); good bus service is available on weekdays. We definitely will return to Compass Point to relax, enjoy the food and staff, and next time snorkel on the reef just off the resort's pier.
