Compass Point, Nassau
 
Anyone stayed here? Comments would be welcomed, good or bad. I need some help. Thanks.

My wife and I went there several years ago and loved it. The villas were beautiful and the food at the restaurant was excellent. Although the beach was small, there was a beautiful pier and wonderful balconies for sitting around and reading. I am currently looking at a wonderful picture of my wife and I sitting at the restaurant. <BR><BR>I guess the best recommendation came from other people. While we would be out by the pool, other travelers that stayed on Paradise Island or Cable Beach would come by and were in awe of the place. You could tell that they were jealous that they were merely dining there and we were staying there.<BR><BR>It is also small, so we got to know several of the others that were staying there. <BR><BR>During our stay, we chose to go into Nassau and the Casinos for a day. My wife and I both felt it was a complete waste. We wished we would have stayed at our resort and relaxed instead of fighting the masses from the cruise ships.<BR><BR>It is isolated --- about a twenty minute drive into Nassau, so if you want a lot of action, you might try Cable Beach or Paradise Island. But if you want a quiet, relaxing vacation, you can't beat it.

CBS - Thanks for your in-depth report. We are looking for quiet and it may be just perfect. We won't be going until fall so have lots of time to search. Thanks again.

My family has made this our vacation destination for the last 3 years and we LOVE it.<BR>Compass Point offers beauty, peace and quiet. My kids enjoyed it - oldest fished every day, middle son just hung out and my youngest met a little companion each year we were there.<BR>Good luck and enjoy

We stayed there last year and it is lovely. The rooms are so different from a standard hotel and the food was great. I have to agree that when you leave the resort you will wish you hadn't. We thought we should go to cable beach for an evening. No need. At compass point we felt we were on an island. I thought most nassau and cable beach were were just another place with warm weather.
