I spent one night at ASTA after six days on Eleuthera. I wanted a place near the airport with a little character and style but not a completely bloated price, and this place more than met my expectations. Unique location, beautiful wrap around porches with a number of potential spots to take in the views while sipping a drink or... More

We were worried about making a connection back to the US after coming so we chose to be more relaxed about it and fly from Cat Island, spend the night in Nassau and hop on the International flight the next day. I'm glad we did this as it gave us a chance to slowly adjust back to reality (Nassau is... More

Picked it partly based on TA review, then recommended by friend who lives in Nassau. Very convenient for airport, great views from top of bluff, bit of a trek into town. Local buses are great fun and great value $1.25 fare to town! But service intermittent and not in evening. Rooms are really nice, good relaxed atmosphere, every friendly ..completely... More

Came for some sunny weather on January 2nd and stayed for a full 9 nights. Overall am very pleased with my hotel experience. Although we were unlucky with the weather in the first 3 days we were upgraded by the owner Chris to an Ocean view room free of extra charge and this was just one of the many generous... More

My wife and I just spent a wonderful 3 nights and 4 days at A Stone's Throw Away on the western end of New Providence island in the Bahamas. The B&B sits on one of the highest bluffs on the island and the views are breathtaking all around the building (there is a great wraparound porch which provides 360 views).... More

So far I would say i am not impressed with the curtains that do not close or the complicated Aircondition that keeps turning off. Came late so maybe during day will be different. Will post more.... More

If you are looking for a great place to spend a night or two before/after your flights to one of the Family Islands, A Stone's Throw Away is perfect. Although the hotel/inn is only 8 years old, it was built and furnished in a British colonial/Bali style. On arrival ( which is complimentary)from the airport) you are dropped outside a... More

Should be a beautiful property but it's not been kept up. It's as if the management is sick and tired. Guest room: not private because of the porch around the perimeter - people can walk by and see in the window as there are no blinds. Awoke in the night with bug bites. Food: With only 6 others in the... More

Hubby and I just got back from 6 days at ASTA. We loved our ocean view and the house itself is pretty glorious. NIcely furnished, very pleasant staff - though the chef was on vacation so there went our breakfast as expected. The ladies covering for the chef laid out a nice continental breakfast but the scrambled cheese eggs and... More

This hotel really is a gem. Just five minutes from the airport and within walking distance of two good restaurants, it is a secret slice of heaven! After a day in Nassau fighting through the cruise ship guests, return to an honesty bar, charming staff and don't forget to have dinner there too. Technically a B&B, their chef is amazing... More
