We had a warm and welcoming experience here. Visited: March 2004 Posted by skeeterbaby27 If we ever come to Nassau again, this would be the only place we would stay. We were treated like family in every aspect. The staff was very friendly, courteous and available for any and all of our needs! We felt like kids, and it brought tears to our eyes when it was time to leave. Thanks, Judy and Brennen, for all the wonderful memories. 5 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Great R&R in western New Providence near Nassau Visited: December 2000 Posted by danwills Located 8 miles west of downtown Nassau, this Inn was delightful. Just what the doctor ordered for those who prefer independent travel to all-inclusive. We had a large, balconied superior oceanview room from which we could see semi-tropical plants on the grounds, the pool and the gorgeous turquoise waters of the New Providence Channel (really the Atlantic Ocean). Our room had a TV with cable, fridge, bath/shower, high ceilings and a friendly staff cleaned the room every day. The grounds were well-kept by owner Danny Lowe, whose choice of semi-tropical flowers and plants attracted a wide variety of local birds. Most days, I would sit out on a porch swing overlooking the ocean and watch a ruby-throated emerald-backed hummingbird feed on a trumpet flower. Most days, I would also see yellow warblers (who like plantains), mockingbirds, mourning doves and a few birds I didn't even recognize. There was a pool which my parents and I would sun ourselves at (blocked by the wind by buildings) every day of the week we were here. There was also a restaurant with wickerwork furniture and a small library, a dining room for special occasions and a bar where people would sit and mingle at night, telling diving stories and other experiences. The bar was based on the honour-system (help-yourself) and you checked off a list what you would take (never in America). Danny's charming wife Judy, from Ireland, bent over backwards to make us feel at home. The hotel has many repeat visitors from all over the world (many Europeans) who love the casual, homey ambience. Some people love Orange Hill so much they help out with cooking and chores to ensure that Orange Hill succeeds for years to come. The beach across the street from Orange Hill Inn was much bigger than I had anticipated. I could walk for 25 minutes on the white sand bordering the turquoise waters and admire the sometimes obscenely expensive neighboring houses by the water. Jitney #10 (Japanese minibuses) came by every 5-15 minutes, between 6 am and 6 pm, going from Compass Point to downtown Nassau with stops anywhere along the way (Travelers Rest Restaurant, grocery stores, bank, liquor store, Cable Beach, Ardastra Gardens and the Zoo). There was also a grocery run offered by the hotel, and an airport transfer (from hotel to airport) if available. While I loved this hotel, it's not for everyone. If you want to be near casinos, nightlife, you may prefer Cable Beach or Paradise Island. If you prefer elegant, ritzy resorts near tennis/golf, Cable Beach might be better. But I know that I could not have been happier elsewhere. 9 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? This is the best inexpensive place to be. Visited: July 2000 Posted by ATraveler This place is very homey and laid back. The people have a willingness to want to help you and to work with you. 1 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful?
