Nice walk from the cruise port. The road is narrow near the stairs so be careful when walking as people drive fast. There are buses (for fees) that take you to stairs and the fort. The fort ( requires an entry fee) has a good view of the Nassau cruise port. Nice place to visit.

This is a great, free thing to do in Nassau. The deep gully was built as part of a fortress by slaves but after being emancipated, the slaves as a gift to queen Victoria who outlawed slavery carved the Queen’s staircase. The gully is a nice respite from the heat, the plant life is impressive and there are only 66 stairs so not too many for people in only moderate shape to climb.

Nice tourist area. A lot of history. Costs a dollar to go inside the fort. Several vendors around the area but not as pushy as I expected. Actually pleasant to walk around and shop without too much pressure. Beer was a little pricey but cold. 😁

We first past this and then decided that we wanted to explore this historic pathway. So glad we did, these steps are rich in history extremely steep, the trees are gorgeous and the canopies are just beautiful to view

A brisk 15 minute walk from the cruise ship (a little hilly in the heat). The gentlemen at the top will give you an entertaining history of The Queen's Staircase (for a "donation" at the end, be sure to bring cash). Definitely worth seeing and exploring the area all around it.

This was part of our Funky Jeep Tour and is much more impressive in real life. 600 slaves dug this area out that leads to the water, look at how high the walls are. The stones carved here were used to make the fort.

This is a must when in Nassau, and the fort is great also, it's carved out of the limestone, we took a local taxi tour for 3 hours very informative. Great tribute to the end of salvery in the UK.

This is an interesting site to visit. The stairs lead from a canyon at street level up to a fort built in the late 1700s. The man made waterfall adds to the interest. The fort is easy to walk around but no access inside. There are vendors all around selling the usual souvenirs. We were polite and they were not aggressive.

steps are rich in history and are extremely steep. Be careful while walking it it’s wet you may slip. trees are gorgeous and the canopies are just beautiful to view. It’s around 20min walk from port.

Wonderful & magical place, the staircase was hand-crafted to provide direct access to the sea. The corridor leading to it is equally impressive, crafted out of limestone rocks. This place is definitely special and living memory to those who made it possible and the Queen herself.

The stairs are steep as you walk down. We felt a sense of reverence as we walked through. It did feel very hot and humid, but the view was beautiful, very picturesque.

It's a staircase, not really much to say about it... Above it is a fort with a few souvenir spots and below is a parking lot. Is it worth going out of your way for? No. Is it worth exploring while in the area? Sure, why not. The history behind it is interesting but it is not worth going out of your way for.

Very cool little slice of history. Walking through the immensely deep hand cut limestone gives you an appreciation of the efforts to build this unique piece of antiquity

The Nassau stop is definitely a fun experience for kids or anyone with a passion for pirates. However, I found the price a bit steep considering it's essentially a collection of diorama scenes depicting pirate life. While there are informative labels throughout the exhibit, there are few actual artifacts or specimens. In some parts of the museum, the displays appeared dusty, and there were no staff members present except for those manning the admission counter. We spent approximately 45 minutes exploring the museum.

I liked it. Charming little space that gives the vibe of a walking tour of the Disney world “pirates of the Caribbean” ride. There isn’t a LOT of info and does not contain any historical artifacts but I liked walking through the scenery nonetheless and price per person wasn’t bad.

What a great museum we came across while touring Nassau. Very informative and fun. Take your time and read each sign. Enjoy the realistic pirate ship and wax figures!

If you have an interest in pirates in the early 1700s, this is a fun, quick stop. This is not your typical museum. While there are a few historically relevant pieces on display, this museum primarily uses vignettes of what things would have looked like, coupled with placards explaining what you are viewing. The museum does a great job using ambiance lighting to put the viewer "in the moment." The information is somewhat superficial if you have studied the subject, but it is perfect for those who are looking with "new eyes." I especially like the true/false questions. It took about an hour to go through the whole museum. Pros: air-conditioned, clean presentation, long enough to be worth the money, but not so long as to bore the kids. Cons: perhaps too short. Perhaps not enough information. For you, it may be a great hour or so of escape!

We have a pirate obsessed daughter. So when we saw Pirates of Nassau was open Christmas Eve we knew we wanted to stop and check it out before hitting the beach. Sam, the proprietor, is amazing. She is super friendly and knowledgeable about pirates. The museum tour is self guided with lots of info. It’s super clean and has very detailed scene’s depicting the life of a pirate. We highly recommend visiting (especially if it’s a pirates life for ya).

This museum was the perfect stop for our boys. Very reasonably priced. It’s fairly small, so you can easily see it all and get right back to the sun.

One of the best activities in Nassau, I learned so much about pirates. It took us about 40mins to walk through the hall place. Definitely a must see if you are remotely interested in pirates.

Beach was nice. Most of the beach was part of Sandals resort. Little section was public. You park to the left of Sandals, there is a little street to park on. Was only a couple of people there when we went.

After all the haggling on how to get to this beach with the cab drivers I only got to enjoy 2 1/2 hours here and it didn’t feel like enough time but overall it was a nice beach, although the beach did have seaweed it washed away after about a hour. Good beach in Nassau to get away from all the big crowds that come off the cruise liners.

This place is fantastic! If you want to see beautiful please stay in front of BahaMar. Is you want to rest and enjoy the silence just walk to the left or stay at the pier. I had an amazing time at Cable beach

Found parking easily on the side street by sandals. Great team working there for chairs and umbrella. 3 chairs and umbrella $50. There was a pig tour there that we did not do but we were still able to see them and take pictures. Not rocky but definitely smaller in size. Sandals private area takes up the right side. Not a lot of trash. Did not see restrooms but the team they have working there will run across the street and get you whatever you want to snack on or drink.

Great Beach, but very small and there are a lot of tourists because sandals resort is nearby. The sand is really nice, the water is beatuful! We enjoyed our time here at the beach. But we came early or late, when there were not that much people. Be there after 16:00 and it gets much better :(

An extreme delight and pleasure to visit anytime! Whenever I want to relax, I hit up the Cable Beach strip. There's just something so peaceful about it; the beach, the scenery, the ambiance, the breeze, the waves. I feel like us locals take the beach for granted because it's always there, but it's definitely a treasure. Glad that it's still accessible (for now anyway). One of the best beaches I've experienced (and I've traveled to locations in the Caribbean & Florida).

Access to Cable Beach is fairly easy. Across from Starbucks and left of Sandals. There's parking. Unfortunately most of Cable Beach is taken up by Sandals resort and a large dock to the right. There's also access to Cable Beach to the right of Menchies. Terribly littered and gross.

This a very small beach but still worth it. The sand is super soft and clean and water was crystal clear. There is nearby ski jet rental and a boat to the island opposite should you wish to go. I managed to get a quite spot and it was safe to leave my belongings as it wasn’t too busy at all!

Only the exterior grounds were open when we visited. The art walk is nice. Be aware that it is a well maintained and marked trail but pretty rugged. Wheelchairs and stroller would not work out well. There are lovely sculptures along trails. There is also a lot of trees and local Flora and fauna to view. It does seem to be a work in progress still. If doing a walking tour this should be included.

Now fully open with an interesting exhibit by local artist Kendra Group in lots of mediums. Beautiful building and gardens and an ampitheatre. A lovely change of pace.

The National Art Gallery is opened again. And has presented wonderfully, the art of Tampa based Bahamian artist, Kendra Frorup "The Whimsical Collector". All the gallery spaces display her wonderful work spanning a couple decades. You will enjoy this meditative and indeed whimsical collection. There is sure to be several pieces that enchant you. Highly recommend a visit. Parking on the grounds, inside the gates was available. And there's even an EV Charging Station parking spot. The entrance was free - not sure if that was for locals. Gallery staff were welcoming and pleasant. The Art Park and garden spaces were open for strolling and wandering. P.S. Based on observation, I believe EVERY Bahamian Art Gallery venue has a Junkanoo art piece at their entrances. 😀

This is my first time visiting the gallery they have nice Bahamian artwork I will definitely go back again there are two floors take pictures because there's a lot of nice artwork inside.

It's a small place and, when we visited, only half open. We were given free entry. Some of the pieces on show were interesting. It also has an 'art garden'. Nice ambience and worth a visit.

I recommend this place. The price of admission is reasonable, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the artwork is beautifully done, and allows you to see work by local artists that show the connection between Bahamian culture and nature and the objects they used to create the work. The outdoor native plants garden could use better signage so we can know exactly what we are looking at.

Beautiful place. The structure 10/10, neatness 10/10, art exhibition 10/10. Price is good 10$/per

This was a stop on a walking tour of Nassau. It is approximately 10 minute walk from Port. You are able to walk around exterior of fort. There are park information signs along walkway that provide history that are part of self guided tour. The site is well maintained. There are a few other forts around Nassau but this is closest to Port. There was a sign posted that the cost was $1 but there was no one to take money so we just walked in.

Decent, 360 degree view of the area but besides that, there isn't much to rave about. The fort had a gentleman tell us the history when we first enter before climbing up to the view point. Back at the base there was a massive parking lot with few souvenir huts and "Big Mama" was the main draw as she was the loudest out of all the sellers. Just past the parking lot you are met by a gentleman who will tell you the history of the Queen's Staircase for a tip before you descend it. Or you can just walk down it to the parking lot below without knowing the history. if you have to choose, go to Fort Charlotte.

Nice walk and shops around Fort Fincastcle. Closes at 4pm. Its the biggest fort on the island. Nice view of Atlantis from the Fort . Close by Queens staircase. You walk both in 1 visit.

Highest point on New Providence Island (Nassau). Great views. You can't get into the fort or the water tower. Many small booths for local souvenirs.

This felt a little off the beaten path, but we were glad to stop at one of the forts. It was pretty hot with not a ton of shade, a decent number of signs giving descriptions of the area. If you visit, absolutely DON'T skip the Queen's Staircase nearby, because that was beautiful and a highlight of our walking adventure.

We visited Fort Fincastle on our last visit to Nassau. Pretty interesting history even though it is small. I believe it was $3.00 per person to get in. We were approached by a man and was asked if we would like a little history of the fort. He was very informative and a really laid back man. He took our pictures at the fort, we tipped him, and we were on out way. By the way, there are lots of vendors selling their wares on your way to the fort.

Very lively spot to eat when in Nassau. Can be very loud and "not very kid friendly" at times. So be warned if you have kids. Food is good, not great. But it is a tourist attraction and the service is good. Drinks are not bad, some pretty pricey. Good location right on the water with plenty of seats.

Food was fresh and delicious! Great crab cakes and chicken wings. We got the sampler plate and some drinks. Although initial service was quite slow, they picked up. The DJ does some competitions and shows as well, so you have the entertainment. Great music and always a fun time! Look up to see the crazy signs they have in there LOL!!

This is super touristy and unauthentic but it is so yummy. Also it’s in a rlly pretty place by the water. At night it’s more locals since the cruise ships are gone for the day. Also, the drinks are cheappppp!

The restaurant - bar was an absolute blast. The staff was very friendly. The drinks were reasonable and the food was good. The entertainment disk jockey was Hilarious. We had a lot of fun.

So much fun. Very loud and entertaining. Food was okay. Guacamole was delish but the chips with it would break your teeth out. Nachos ok. Drink more eat less have a great time. It really is a fun place! Service was excellent.

Love the embience, nice music. The best conch salad where they prepare infornt of you. Great place to hang around in Nassau.

Fun but pricey. However you do get a good size serving and it's convenient to walk to. Parking a tad hard but if in a cruise I would highly recommend.

Great experience for bar atmosphere. Food is good service is good. Music and dancing and drinking all day long. This place is always packed with tourists from the cruise lines. It is about a five minute walk from the ships.

This was such a fun experience! The dock provides great views of fishing and the clear water you can see the conch shells and fist. It is loud so be aware that this is more of a party than a sit down place to eat. We enjoyed the festivities and the conch salad made right at our table! The food was so good and refreshing. We loved the jerked chicken wrap, the fish tacos and chips and salsa. The drink were really good I just didn't feel like there was any alcohol in mine. That may be because of the drink style but it was still very good! I enjoyed how they engage with everyone and make it fun. Be aware that this is a go to place so it may be crowded when you get there but trust me it is a must for good food and local attractions! I cant wait to come back again! the staff were so amazing and so nice. My son who is 10 and a little more mature for his age loved the atmosphere and the people there!

The view is very nice. The service was good too. The drinks were heavy on alcohol and tasted good as well. The food- limited choice. We god burgers and conch fritters- everything was very heavy and tasted very average. Expensive comparing to the quality of food.

A group of six of us went in a little after 9 on Saturday night. They got us a table with a great view of the marina outside, and our server, Raquel, was amazing. Super friendly and accommodating even though we got there within less than an hour of closing. Food was also the best we’ve had so far in Nassau, and Raquel was nice enough to get our friend a birthday dessert even though the kitchen had already closed! Definitely worth going for dinner at least once if you’re here for any amount of time.

Came here with a large group and was able to get seated in about 10 minutes. Food was good but definitely on the expensive side (most things are in this area). Service staff is great and offered some helpful recommendations. The views are nice on the deck and have a nice vibe. Stop by if you’re in the area!

Great scenery, great food, but didn't have my grouper fingers this time ;--(. Love this place!

We tried this place out for lunch and we were glad we came! Our server was nice and patient with us. The view right by the dock was nice. We had the calamari, shrimp pasta and the Island shrimp with rice and peas. Everything tasted great to us

Lissennnn, this place is fabulous! First of all the service is superb! The bartender is fantastic! I picked out my own freshly caught fish and they cooked it to perfection! The conch fritters were to die for! The ambience was fantastic! I will visit every time I go back to the Bahamas!

Quinn was the best server! Very attentive and friendly. The location on the marina is beautiful. The shrimp pasta was a hit with our group, and the leftover was just as good heated up for lunch the next day. Highly recommended.

Great food & awesome service. Can't wait to go back for some conch fritters!

Tasty food in an unpleasant setting. Higher price for good food is always welcome. Service need improvement as we got our food but no serviette or cutlery. Table was dirty, but as I said food taste really good so will visit again when we will be back to Bahamas. Need good tables and chairs for the price you charge.

5/5 service: Attentive staff who were so friendly. The owner actually came around to talk to everyone which was such a nice gesture. 5/5 food: The steak and lobster linguine were delicious and so filling. The prosciutto with melon was different but the right balance. The mango cheesecake was so fresh and delicious. Presentation and quality was on point. We walked in at 6pm on a Tuesday with no reservations and they had a spot.

This place is amazing. We wanted to go to some local place while our ship was in port and we were absolutely thrilled we picked Cafe Matisse. The food was awesome and the service was top notch. The pictures I added are of the duck and the chicken my kids had, but I had the mixed seafood plate and I crushed it before I could take a picture. Go here when in Nassau and you will not be disappointed!!!

BEST time ever. Food was so so so good. The garden setting was sweet and service to die for. A must see and enjoy. But, if it is hot use your bug spray on your legs & exposed parts there's lush greenery everywhere otherwise eat inside. IT AIN'T CHEAP but Fine Dining

Sad but true Cafe Matise is closing at the end of this month - August 2023. I'm so sad. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic evening or a business lunch. The food is on par every time and the service leaves y9u wanting nothing more.

Absolutely great restaurant, actually, best restaurant in nassau in my opinion. Fairly priced, fresh food and great wine. I will definitely make sure to make my way back there before I leave. Had a great time and would like to taste many other options from the menu.

Very nice dining restaurant. Came here in the middle of the week. The service was very good, the waiters were courteous and the restaurant owner is very friendly. All of the meals I had was amazing (as seen in the photos below). The ambiance is very relaxing and laid back yet chic. Looking forward to dining here in due time again Gods willing.

The chef at Cafe Matisse is probably the best one on this island. The ingredients are fresh and the presentation is excellent. Don't forget to try their cocktails )

I was treated like a QUEEN here on my bday. I made last minute plans to eat here and they were able to accommodate me. I met so many amazing people in the Bahamas and I was there a month ago so I’m starting to forget names. However, the manager and all the staff was phenomenal. They had so many unique options. I had OXTAIL lasagna. It was amazing. I would recommend anyone to come here for fine dining that doesn’t completely empty your wallet. I cant wait to visit the Bahamas again!

Twin Brothers is located in the Fish Fry area. There is a lot of choice to eat at, but it was recommended by a local, so I excitedly tried it. We were seated very promptly and quickly greeted by our server. When our order arrived, I couldn't wait to have my beloved Peas and Rice, which did not disappoint! Super good! I also tried the conch salad, which is similar to ceveche. Though the flavors were good, personally, I did not care for the conch. It seemed quite tough and rubbery. It likely is very fresh as just on the other side, men were harvesting the conch. My son's steak was cooked exactly as requested, and it was tasty. But what really makes this place is the staff. Everyone was so friendly, polite, and welcoming!

Good food and a great vibe to enjoy. Came here near closing with a very large group and we were able to get our order in. The food is very simple but that’s the best part, there’s no frills. Some options are on the expensive side but as are most things in this area. Would definitely recommend!

Our taxi driver recommended this restaurant for us to try and it was good. A little over rated though. We ordered the conch salad which was very good and made to order so it took about 45minutes to come out. We also had the fried snapper, rice and peas with sweet plantains and the Mac and cheese. Everything was good but the snapper was the best. The jolly rancher shot was delicious.

I would highly recommend Twin Brothers at the Fish Fry. The seafood was very tasty and flavorful. Service was good and there was live music! If you want solid local food, give this place a shot.

We were greeted & seated promptly. Our drinks were delicious and our food arrived shortly after we were seated. We ordered a Mango daiquiri and a Sky Water for drinks. For dinner we ordered the wings platter, shrimp and fries dinner & the Ultimate Seafood Platter, which fed two very hungry adults. Our family was very satisfied with full bellies.

Everything was good! Food was in line with island pricing and the serving sizes were massive. Conch fritters and fried plantains were blissful. Loved the passion fruit mojito too. Would recommend.

The staff were very friendly, we tried the conch, chicken and grilled fish. It was all very tasty, plates were empty. Main courses are expensive. They have a lovely balcony area and out door dining.

Great food quality, portion size and customer service. We ordered conch fritters, swai fish fingers, fish sandwich and chicken tenders meal. Great local spot! Recommended!

Where does one begin?! Believe every single positive review you read!!!! Twin Brothers is by far some of the best food on the island. I had a lobster and conch platter.... BEST LOBSTER I'VE EVER EATEN! I can't even fit the whole plate in one picture. Look closely, there's tons of stuff on the plate! My friend, who vacations in Nassau every year, suggested this restaurant and that I order the Miami Vice. ORDER THE MIAMI VICE!!!!!

Overall, Graycliff is a beautiful quintessential historic Bahamian hotel, so do not hesitate to go. That said, we went for afternoon tea, and I have some comments for the chef. 1) Earl Grey tea should always be an option. 2) bread used to make sandwiches should fresh, paper thin, with all crust removed. 3) cucumber sandwiches should have a thin layer of mayonnaise with a light sprinkle of salt. 4) large scones should be on the plate. 5) lemon curd should be on the table.

This restaurant is absolutely delicious and a treasure trove of different and unique liquors. The staff was wonderful and extremely attentive to any needs during the meal. We had the amazing pleasure of being able to visit the wine selection and it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Definitely recommend a visit to Graycliff!

This review is for the restaurant although I did tour the grounds on a previous day and they are beautiful. In regards to the restaurant, the service was A1 from the minute I walked through the door. The staff was impeccable and made me feel very welcome to celebrate my birthday. They even gave me pumpkin soup and cake gratis. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Restaurant was excellent. One of the best meals I had in many years. Beautiful wine cellar tour. Excellent dessert a souffle. I highly recommend it

I have come to this restaurant for 30 years. You are a fool to come to Nassau without coming here at least one night. Pam sings and plays the piano while you eat delicious food. Anything less than five stars came from the unwashed. Kate and William ate here. Figure it out. Bill

We dined here, we did not stay at the hotel. This place is really something else - it is a spectacular brush with history. The vibes in the foyer with the live piano and singing, the hand rolled cigars and champagne upon entry, the staff. Everything here was outstanding. We dined in the cellar which was chilly, be warned if you get this privilege. The room was a tight squeeze and I think it was hard for the staff to keep up with us (had to ask for water a lot) but it’s not surprising since we were 25+ and they usually only allow 18 max. I will tell everyone about our meal here - the food was out of this world and I don’t think I’ll ever get to experience another meal quite like it.

Very disappointed. The service was surly and borderline unpleasant. The foe gras was cooked nicely but drowned in a sugary syrup which overpowered it. My steak should have been medium rare but came very well done. My wife’s medium was kept Warm while they recooked mine and came back so dry it was inedible. We ordered asparagus and they brought mushrooms. For $700 you should be ashamed of yourselves.

We love fine dining and we’re super excited to try this place but unfortunately it didn’t live up our expectations at all. Service was way too pushy for our taste as we felt like we could not relax. Food was a huge disappointment. $58 foie gras came raw twice, basically inedible. Tomatoes and Mozzarella- tomatoes were so riped it nearly tasted moldy. Lobster bisque- not quite what you looking for in a color, grainy, tasted burnt. Definitely not your usual silky smooth bisque. Duck main course was ok, good taste except that duck was way passed over cooked. Dug leg ok but breasts were inedible. For this price mark, chefs should be definitely undergo some proper training as this was a poor try of a classic french cuisine. Drinks were good and manager was excellent, we ended up getting complimentary champagne and cigar at the lounge. We also loved the lady that played piano.

Screw this place! We made this a meeting point for our group in the Bahamas, and in a span of 3 minutes were accosted by four people who made it very clear that we should not be there. RUDE. Another 2 minutes and we would have been happily walking out of the door. Never have seen people's behavior to the public being so poor!

I don't know how this hotel gets reviews that are better than one star. The whole place is worn out and dirty. The staff looked disheveled with some stood on the outside smoking. The room that we went to had a bowl of fruit that was old and looked musty ,just like the room. Overpriced and difficult to get into although it is close to the old downtown There are a lot of better choices and at less price.
