The property and room were very dated and in need of an upgrade. The AC was not working very well in the height of summer was problematic. The facilities/pool/gardens were not really “open” or as advertised.

Bed was comfortable, location is good.

Food. Breakfast very poor.

Position, distance from airport and sea, view, old colonial style. Room big and comfortable. Need some renovation probably.

Expect the start of the dinner hour (6:30pm) may be delayed as the staff get prepared. In our case, a new staff member was in training, and the delay was understandable. The pool was not well maintained, so do not expect to swim as the water quality was compromised.

The hotel grounds are quiet and lovely, with comfortable lounge chairs alongside the pool and gardens. The views from the upper deck are gorgeous, and indoor and outdoor seating options are plentiful and cozy, with privacy easy to find. The Indian restaurant was exceptional. The food at dinner was perfectly spiced and very fresh, with large portions. Local families came to dine alongside hotel guests. Breakfast was simple and adequate, with yogurt, bagels, croissants, hard-boiled eggs, and coffee and juice provided, complimentary. The staff and service were fantastic. Honor bar made it easy to find your beverage of choice, and the staff was also available to mix cocktails. The rooms are spacious as are the en suite bathrooms with large showers.

They may have been short staffed. The pool loungers and umbrellas were broken and old. When we went to breakfast, their were no utencils or plates. The staff seemed to wait until called to replenish instead of having things ready. At 9:30 in the morning as we were getting ready, the staff was sweeping outside on our balcony. It was alarming and not private unfortunately.

We were greeted very well. We loved lounging around the pool. The proximity to the airport and water were great. I like the historical feel of the builiding

This wasn’t an issue for us, but this is not a suitable location for people with mobility issues, as there are quite a few stairs to climb. Coffee and pastries are available in the morning, but don’t expect full-service hotel amenities; it’s more like living in someone’s lovely hilltop home with ocean views.

We absolutely loved ASTA, which is, happily, far away from the massive hotels in downtown Nassau. Our room was lovely, comfortable, and with a balcony overlooking the lush tropical gardens and small pool. The water view from the main deck is stunning, with a sweet beach within a few minutes’ walk. Loved the onsite Indian food, which is served on the main deck, upon request. We ate there 3 times!

The stairs initially were daunting however the staff were very helpful in finessing that.

The staff could not have been more friendly. They were always available to assist with moving the luggage up and down the stairs. The views are lovely. Dinner was delicious.

The steps and getting luggage up to room

The view

The mattress in our room was extremely soft, and didn't suit our backs. I would suggest replacing. The owners seem to be replacing the existing furniture with a more modern style.....to be honest we much preferred the old furniture, it had character.

We loved the location, away from Nassau, but totally accessible via bus or taxi. Beaches close by, Love Beach, Jaws Beach, Johnston's Beach were great for us as we didn't fancy all the fuzz from the 100's of tourist coming off the cruise ships daily. John, Marcy and RJ were all great. They did everything to help and make our stay comfortable. The garden area was great to chill out and the rock pool was so nice to jump in any time of day or night. The terrace overlooking the beach was always clean and accessible, the breakfasts were simple, yet healthy and the Indian food served at the restaurant was great. I would definitely recommend staying there if you don't mind being away from the centre or for a short stopover.

I would say the stairs because there's tons of stairs but it's hard as it was to Lug all of our luggage up there and down there and every time you want to go somewhere you got to go up and down the stairs which we counted them and there's over a hundred on a good note my legs are in a lot better shape when I left than they were when I got there

Out of the hustle and bustle of downtown but still close enough to drive there the staff was awesome the room was nice had a great view from the balconies the property was beautiful

Stayed in June 2024

Did not seem accessible for those that have mobility difficulties. Not wheelchair friendly.

The view is beautiful. The pool area was very pretty and quiet. The balconies attached to the rooms are very large. Overall it’s a charming hotel with historical charm. Lots of stairs though.

If you are looking for a beautiful "Bahamian beach" near the hotel you will not find one by walking. There is a small beach few minutes away, however it will not meet your expectations if you are looking for a "paradise beach".

Top location for a short stay near the airport (5min taxi ride for 25 Dollar). Very nice manager who upgraded us to a beautiful room during our second stay at the end of our trip. We also liked the Indian food in the evening. Breakfast is included, however there is only a very small breakfast selection.

Stayed in July 2024

The water flow out of the shower was very poor - perhaps there was an issue of supply during our stay and it might not be an issue on other occasions.

This hotel is full of character, it's very Bahamian. Lovely views over the water (although you are not directly next to the ocean). I'm not sure it's a hotel that you would want to stay for two weeks but for a short stay/layover it's very good value for money and the staff are all charming.

We were unprepared to climb long stairs to property carrying luggage.

View was great , location to restaurant, close to airport good stop over. Manager was great in upgrading room for us

Getting a cab to and from the hotel if you're not coming from the airport is a bit challenging. We had to have our waiter drive us back from a nearby restaurant because the cab he ordered never came, and the cab we ordered for a 6am pickup through the hotel staff never came. We were forced to rely on the kindness of a neighborhood resident to take us to the airport as there was no one on staff at 6am to help us when our taxi didn't show up. It would be good if the the hotel was staffed earlier to help get people to the airport or give guests the name and number of the taxi driver so they can follow up themselves. The neighborhood is a lovely residential neighborhood with restaurants and bars about a 15-20 minute walk away. Unfortunately, there are no sidewalks or streetlights, so getting back after dark requires a taxi.

The Stones Throw Away is a great hotel for arriving in Nassau and connecting to a flight the next day to another island in the Bahamas. It's a quick cab ride from the airport, there's a nice pool and the rooms are very comfortable. The veranda is a beautiful place to enjoy a cocktail or breakfast - which we unfortunately didn't have since we had an early flight in the morning.

Stayed in March 2024

Because we missed our connecting flight, we booked at very short notice. The staff was extremely friendly and we received a warm welcome. The proximity to the airport is not noticeable.

Unique and beautiful property overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed the secluded pool and garden area. Everyone was extremely courteous and helpful.

Stayed in February 2024

Only one of our pillows was soft - it would have been nice to have had another.

The property has lots of character - unlike the larger hotels in Nassau. It’s not a luxury hotel but it’s comfortable. The rooms are spacious. We had a room overlooking the garden but in fact because the hotel is on a hill we had far reaching views over the residential areas of Nassau which was lovely. We could see the airport in the distance but we couldn’t hear the planes. We would definitely book again.

Stayed in February 2024

We could hear the people walking around, etc. ( 🫣) in the room above ours

It’s in a quiet part of town- away from major tourist areas, but still very convenient for going out. We loved coming back to our little oasis with garden view. Our balcony was so lovely.

Lots of stairs, no lift. Far from everything....quite isolated.

Great food and hospitality

Walking thru the dining area to access the pool and exit was a bit uncomfortable at times. Initially, the entrances were not very welcoming, but that feeling soon changed.

The staff was amazing! They were always caring and attentive😃

Beautiful little gem... over looking the coast. Property sit up on a cliff. Convenient walk to a couple restaurants and only about a mile away from the airport. Staff was accommodating and even ran us to the airport when a taxi was slow to respond. We had a garden court room but the view from the room was still spectacular.

They didn’t have change and didn’t try to even arrange, so I had to pay full $100 cash as My card also failed to work on checkout bill settlement

The sea view from patio was very beautiful
