Ocean West Boutique Hotel (Nassau, Bahamas)

This is a beautiful hotel with amazing facilities. Converted from a mansion, it offers a unique layout and glamourous set up. Guests rave about the outdoor pool area and the gorgeous terrace. It is one of the highlights of this hotel. The gym, situated on the rooftop, is also a marvel, as it boasts magnificent ocean views. Here, you won't want to miss your workout.

This hotel is conveniently located for access to the Lynden Pindling International Airport, only a five-minute drive away. It is also perfect for exploring the Cable Strip Beach area, which is known for its dining scene, nightlife, and casinos.

Make sure to try out Sapodilla, the new fine dining restaurant in the area. Guests highly recommend it for its delicious menu items and the views. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a drink, try the much raved-about poolside bar.

With the exception of the hotel's proximity to Cable Strip Beach, most guests generally viewed it as a bit secluded. It is situated on top of a hill, not beachside, which yield to beautiful views, but also makes it a bit far from all the action. Guests say it's pretty hard to walk to or from town, so you'll need to rely on some sort of transportation during your stay. Fortunately, there is a local bus not too far away, and the hotel offers a reasonably-priced shuttle service. Some guests, however, advise renting a car.
