Guesthouse Arawak Inn (Nassau, Bahamas)

You’ll find your room cooled down with the air conditioning prior to your arrival and the innkeepers will accommodate arrivals and departures outside of the regular timings if requested. They can also recommend taxi drivers and the best eateries on Arawak Cay.

Situated just across the road from sandy beaches and Arawak Cay, you can immerse yourself in Bahamian culture. The inn itself has plenty of charm, while its tropical gardens make for a tranquil outdoor retreat. The close proximity to Arawak Cay means that numerous dining options are right on your doorstep.

You’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay in the modest yet clean accommodations. You can truly experience Bahamian life here and local hospitality will more than make up for the basic but adequate facilities.

This is budget accommodation, but you might be disappointed with the standard compared to other economy options. While rooms are kept clean, the reception area is reported to be smelly and décor is dated throughout. Facilities are sufficient but you’ll need to bring your own tea, coffee and sugar.

There are buses into Nassau city centre or it’s a half hour walk, making exploring the area inconvenient. You’ll be better off getting taxis but of course this adds extra cost.

The studios are basic and compact, which is fine for a short stay but may be unsuitable for longer holidays or family trips.
