Graycliff Hotel, Bahamas

December 7th, 2009

We’re not ones to promote a vacation in the Bahamas.  Nassau, at least is just so . . .  commercial.  But if we must go to Nassau, then we might as well stay at a mansion.  Chain hotels be gone, give us unique luxury and memorable digs, and we guess we can make a go of it.  Add a five star restaurant on premises, and we’re yours.  Now, this isn’t a super mega-hotel, so if you want shine, trimmings, exclusive toiletries and all of those trappings, head elsewhere.  Its not alongside a beach, but does have a pool for you to cool off in, and is situated in a place that lends itself to easy trips to all the island has to offer.  But if a quaint stay, character to boot and a vacation in which you sleep nestled in a quiet area of Nassau, this 260 year old estate might be for you.  Enjoy hand-rolled cigars produced on site, nab a bottle from the wine cellar to accompany your meal at either the Graycliff Restaurant, or the newer Humidor Churrascaria before you mosey on over to your room.  Our advice?  Get a room with a view of the Nassau Harbour, and chill. out.  Visit The Graycliff for more information.
