I stayed here for 6 nights whilst on a business trip, and would recommend this hotel if you're visiting Nassau.

The hotel complex itself has a large central section with 'arms' (to the East and West) that wrap around the resort area. These arms are where most of the rooms are, all facing towards the ocean and resort. I was on the 5th floor of the West wing, which like most of the rooms was a good 2-3 minute walk from reception.

The room was modern and comfortable, with a balcony area looking onto the resort area and also a great view of the ocean. There was no fridge, instead you could get drinks from a vending machine along the corridor.

The resort area was excellent! Many pools, including a central pool with swim-up-to bar! No problem finding a free sunbed, although not all sunbeds had umbrellas... The beach itself was very clean, and the hotel offers about 300m of exclusive access - not bad!

Prices in the hotel are expensive (like most of The Bahamas), but food and service generally good. Remember that there is a 15% gratuity charge on just about everything and together with all the taxes can make for a bigger bill than you had expected.

If you need to use Wi-Fi for any reason it is free in the main foyer (the main bar is there too) and I found that in the rooms, although Wi-Fi is chargeable Bahama Telecom offers a free trial.

In summary, a great hotel!

Arrived June 7th for 5 nights and 6 days. Went with my husband, daughter and her boyfriend. Excellent hotel and the staff was great. Room was upgraded free of charge to an ocean view. Plenty of pools and chairs. Ocean was fantastic. Read a review about stained towels, beach towels had some stains (that is to be expected) hotel bath towels were like brand new and as white as can be, and I saw nothing wrong with the sheets. Beds and pillows were so comfortable as soon as my head hit the pillow I was gone. Went all inclusive which I am glad we did. Food and drinks were expensive but that was to be expected. Had fun at the straw market couldn't decide which pocketbook to get. I do not like to fly but I had such a great experience I can't wait to go back again next year.

We stayed at the Sheraton for 5 nights middle of May and it was a very pleasant stay. We did use points for the stay so can't say much about the price..

Pro:
1) Great pools - there were several pools; one of them heated which was lovely at night. My son loved the pools and it was not crowded at all.
2) Great access to beach - sand was nice and soft and Sheraton has nice beach chairs with umbrellas for free. BTW, Nassau beach was better than the ones on Paradise Island because I didn't encounter any bugs at Nassau but was bitten to death by these tiny bugs at Paradise Island.
3) Good sized room but I don't think it was a Sweet Sleeper Bed. The room was recently updated so nicely furnished with a flat screen TV.
4) Friendly staff- all the staff we met were very friendly and helpful
5) Right by the Bus Stop - since taxi can be frustrating and expensive, the bus is a bargain and Sheraton is on the route and easy to get to. Note that the bus only runs on the Nassau side and not to Paradise Island
6) Refrigerator in room - this was great since everything in Bahamas was expensive so it was helpful to buy drinks and milk and store it in the hotel.

Con:
1) Resort Fee - we didn't expect it so thought it was quite high
2) Expensive restaurant - the restaurant at the hotel was quite pricey so for breakfast, I would suggest going down to the cafe and buy their wonderful chocolate croissonts instead.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and feel that the pros outweigh the cons.

Very nice for families. Lots of pools and really nice shallow beach. The beach was spectacular.The food at the buffet and grill was really good. I loved the Gruper fingers at the grill and the buffet had a chocolate fountain!
Staff was friendly and nice. The hotel itself was great and lobby alone had alot to offer. Easily accessible to casino through nice walkway with some upscale shops being set up.
The buffet at dinner was 38 dollars per person and 28 per person for breakfast. The grill had moderate prices as well. So this is definately not a cheap place.
Downside -Rooms
The linens we not the newest, all the sheets and towels we got had stains on them. The bathtub had some permenent stains on it. The toliet way really really high, too high for my toddler and I think way to high for the handicap. So as you can imagine I wasn't at ease in the room. The bathroom door was glass and made privacy a little weird. If I stayed at this hotel again I would insist on brand new sheets and towels. Atlantis is 20 minutes away by car. The tour desk can arrange a trip which includes the aquarium entrance fee.
