This is a BUDGET hotel and the feedback is not very favorable. I'm sure you were attracted by the low price but remember you get what you pay for.

Friend of ours was just there last week at Sunspree via Apple and they found it so bad (I mean REALLY BAD) they insisted that Apple move them to another resort and out of Sunspree..they reported that the rooms were dirty, run down, food was awful, was very noisy, just all around bad. THey refused to spend the night there and were moved to another resort (Sweptaway I think)

i'm looking into going to paradise island in may and am also considering Holiday Inn Sunspree. it's that bad huh? are there a lot of kids around? i've heard that the holday inn is okay but that's from people who have been there 4 yrs ago.<BR>My husband and i are looking for something nice (a romantic 5 day vacation) that won't kill our bank account.

OK, so let's be constructive:<BR><BR>Can the Sunspree critics suggest a different hotel in Nassau/Paradise Island that would cost no more than the Holiday Inn, but be a better choice?<BR>

hi Shelley,<BR> I was at the holiday Inn Sunspree in Nassau from October 25th to the 28th 2001. I found the hotel to be spotless and our room was very large and very clean. I thought it was a very nice resort, there were very few children while I was there. The pool was quite lovely it winds around with an island in the middle and has a couple of bridges. The pool bar had hamburger and fries that were to die for,not to mention the Banana Daquiries. The food in the Dining Room was fine, definately not 5 star fine dining but tasty, plentiful and definately edible.I did not find the Hotel run down at all it was always spotless, nicely decorated and appeared well run to me. As a matter of fact my daughter forgot to pack her toothbrush, called the front desk and they brought her one within 5 minutes. (ther is a sign in bathroom saying if you forgot any toiletries they will supply it complimentary). The only drawback I found at the hotel was the beach, it was not on the Ocean but on the Harbour side the beach is nice, small, but nice and you can ssee the Cruise ships from the hotel, but if you want to lay on the beach right on the Ocean this may not be the resort for you. Overall I thiought it was great vacation value. I will happily answer any questions.

There are two different Holiday Inns; Sunspree is on Paradise Island and a DIVE and Holiday Inn Junkaroo is right in downtown Nassau but this one gets much better reviews.

Another inexpensive hotel would be the Nassau Beach Hotel on Cable Beach (very nice beach area)and if you prefer to be on Paradise Island than Comfort Suites which also gives you full use of the Atlantis.
