This is best kept gem on the island
Jennifer
We loved this place! It’s easy to write a review when every thing goes without a bump!
We had a bump nothing anyone could foresee and had to be fixed so we were given another room. Do NOT let that stop you, the quality of a place and staff is it usually felt when everything is perfect. It can be felt most often when things go wrong. This hotel and the staff made a snafu into a distant memory and went above and beyond.
Go for the beach club, the pool the restaurants and don’t sleep on the market and pizza place!
Stay for the quiet ease, the 2 level gym, 24hr pool and the spa with outdoor sauna and cold plungeIt was literally fantastic!
Teens would adore it ~ it’s got no water slides, rides or “Hollywood themes” and that’s what makes this amazing! The beach club watching World Cup matches with perfect waters and wonderful snacks can’t be beat!
We will definitely be returning! Ciao til next time!

We had an amazing 3 night stay here. Excellent staff and property. The beach which is about a 5 minute car ride away is also amazing. Best beach we have been on. The staff is very helpful with making sure you get there when you want. Can’t wait to come back here soon.
Vantrell
It was a pleasurable stay. The staff were accommodating and helpful navigating the island.
Joshua
Was surprised to learn they didn’t give my son the king bedroom I had reserved and paid for. Not did I receive a refund for the difference.
Jennifer
Island House is one of my favorite hotels in the world and yet feels just like home. The boutique hotel is spacious, with quiet tree top views, a relaxing pool that’s always free, spa, gym and access to the private beaches of historic Old Fort Bay Club. The staff is attentive and relaxed. Excellent restaurant options, including an Italian market with fresh pizza, Roman fine dining, inventive Sushi and an all day bar & cafe. A monthly rotation of events focuses on wellness, cinema, music, fine dining and culture. Close to the airport, but far from the cruise crowds - Island House sits in front the heart of Lyford Cay, the capital of off-shore financial services, private banking and luxury neighborhoods tourists never see.
Joseph
Amazing little hidden gem!
Andris
We've been to the \"go-go\" big resort like the SLS BAHA MAR a couple of times before .... then we found this small upscale boutique resort
As seniors, this is a marked contrast much for the better: peace and quiet is NEVER a bad thing .
Highly recommended for the traveller looking for a refined quiet secluded getaway.
PS the spa treatments are fab with a special shoutout for Lynn Lowe as a \"must do\"

Grace
The entire staff is wonderful, gracious and so helpful. The location is excellent if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxed getaway, far from the large resorts. Old Fort Bay Club is beautiful, situated on a stunning beach without crowds of people. Very good food (we preferred the Italian restaurant over the Asian). Gym is very good and the pool is decently sized for those who like to swim laps. Room and bathroom are clean and spacious. The only thing missing is mini fridge.
Sarah
It was a lovely stay. The staff are very friendly
Graydon
The Island House feels like the best private retreat located in a lush beautiful part of the island! Absolutely stunning private beach access and impeccable service. 5 Stars!
Whitley
Nice, albeit corporate. Comfortable enough. Not a ton of soul or charm.
Jonathan
The room was lovely and the pool area is gorgeous, but the service in the Yellowbird restaurant - particularly at breakfast - really lets the hotel down. Service is super-slow and some fairly basic items on the breakfast menu were unavailable on consecutive days.
Two days before our departure we booked a taxi via reception for 6am for our trip to the airport. We double-checked the night before that the cab had been booked, and were assured it had been. However, on the morning itself, we discovered that the cab hadn’t actually been booked and we had a stressful 45 minute wait for another cab to arrive.

The staff at the Island House was friendly, helpful and competent. Island House property, rooms and facilities were immaculate. Impressed with the gym, fitness classes, spa, on-site restaurants and access to the Old Fort Beach club.
Gareth
Room was fine. Poolside service and breakfast service was just poor. No fresh OJ. Really??
Jean-Sébastien
Excellent
Gerald Henri
One word… paradise. Impeccably designed and maintained property and rooms. Great restaurants on-site and in close proximity to other fantastic options. Private beach access at Old Fort Club + beautiful pool at the hotel gives you the best of both worlds. You won’t regret staying here!
Ceren
Absolutely in love with this place and already planning on coming back. High quality design and clean facilities, helpful staff, delicious food, it far exceeded our expectations!
ANDRZEJ
One of the best hotels on the island!!!
Faith
One of our favourite stays in the world. Have returned three times now and will be keeping it in the rotation. Restaurant staff are always on Bahamian time, but the drivers (to Old Fort), Freddy at the pool bar, and the turn-down staff are extra kind, and we always appreciate them.
rodney
We stayed for our honeymoon and treated like royalty. The staff was amazing, kind and accommodating.
Carol
Everything was wonderful and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Dee

Great staff with Michael at the valet and Fredrick at the pool taking good care of us the entire stay.
Front desk was helpful at all times, drinks and room service was fast.

The Perfect Resort
I stayed at the Island House for my best friends birthday trip. It was about 17 of us and the property was perfect for all aspects. We enjoyed the pool, the onsite movie theater, the restaurants and the gym. The staff: Kera, Tamara, Jarvis, Roshado were all so accommodating and wonderful. I’ll be back!!
Lamingo
Bahamas is already
Jeremy
Great gym.
Carolyn
Always love the island house, staff charming but think it’s now need a little maintenance to keep it to its high standard we know it for!!
Kelly
My room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly, pleasant helpful and welcoming. The hotel offered a variety of restaurants for dining; my favorite was Yellowbell.
I enjoyed my stay here because it provided a calm and laid back environment. I was able to rest and relax and have fun.
My only concern was the description of the room, The Marina View Room, which did not offer a view of the Marina. The Manager advised this was the actual name for the 2nd floor rooms and not rooms that allow you to see the Marina.They are working on changing that description on their website because it is very misleading.
However, overall I would say it is a very nice and inviting hotel where the staff is attentive to your needs. I would recommend it for your next vacation.

My wife and i stayed at the Island House for our 20th anniversary. While it wasn't close to a lot of the stuff we wanted to do, we don't regret staying there at all. The staff were exellent and the resort was perfect.
Deborah
Great week in the Bahamas!
From the friendliness of the staff to the beautiful grounds, the Island House did not disappoint. Will definitely return.
Lindsay
Loved it - beautiful and amazing beach club access!
Theodore
Quiet, away from most things
Andrew
Convenient for the airport. Rooms were nice and facilities ( pool and gym).
However, the gym air con was not on high enough and therefore too hot, there was no water in the gym in the morning, there were no towels in the pool showers and generally the service to get drinks outside was slow.

amazing wonderful and magical place
Caroline
We loved our stay here. The service is unmatched, the restaurants are incredible and the location couldn’t be more convenient - a quick 10 minute drive from the airport. The rooms are modern, spacious and clean and you get a boutique feel with all the amenities that a big resort has (dining options, spa, fitness, a movie theatre, etc). We will be back!
TinaMarie
The service was excellent. The property is adorable. And the food is wonderful.
Noi
We really appreciated how the staff practiced the principles of hospitality.
Ali
A lovely stay with modern furnishings!
Verified traveler
The Hotel is very quiet, which we appreciated enormously, beautiful pool and enough lounge chairs also.
The Italian restaurant has an interesting menu and is tasty, the bottle of wines are over priced, I know because we are wine consumers and connoisseurs.

Stayed here for about 5 days…so
Here’s a Honest review:
Pros
The STAFF amazing !!!! From the front desk staff to the wait staff.
Dining experience is also 5/5!
The pizza shop and Italian Restaurant amazing!
Property definitely has amazing food.
I’m a picky eater , very picky so if I say it was amazing it was very good.
Upscale crowd. Not many kids on site.
A lot of locals come in to use the facilities; which made me feel very comfortable.
Small resort, a peace of mind away from the busy tourist areas.
24 hour gym
Cons:
No wait staff by pool at all! Very annoying. No towels, you gotta flag down someone to get service outside.
Although wait staff was attentive when needed inside the Yellowbell ; very chatty in the corners ..you can tell it’s young staff. A little unprofessional.
Housekeeping! Ugh 😑 there was only one housekeeper that unfortunately cleaned my room to satisfaction. The others on duty barely cleaned the front of my suite , barely made my bed or replaced towels. It was annoying.
The one housekeep;young lady named Angel you could tell she was trained differently than the older staff and cared about hospitality. She would even leave jazz music playing on our tvs once she left. She was just amazing !
Room floors and carpet could be up Kept better. ( kinda raggedy for the price of the hotel)
Other than that again the stay was a nice one!
Will definitely return just for the staff and food alone!
Thank you for a fun week at the Bahamas! 🇧🇸

This property is beautiful!!! Makes you feel like you are on a remote Island. I will definitely be back

Pretty pool
Jennifer
This might be my favorite hotel in the world. We stay there frequently and each time I feel both at home and another world away.
Beyond the oversized rooms, treetop property and ritzy location of Lyford Cay; I appreciate the thoughtful design of open work spaces, fabulous decor and intimate, tropical garden. It’s a wonderful alternative to the area’s large resorts and casinos.
Dinner at Yellowbird, TERN Contemporary Art Gallery and the authentic Italian Market are lovely and the treetop views from both restaurants, make a sleepover worthwhile.

Stephanie
I can’t recommend this hotel enough! The staff are incredible. The hotel is beautiful. I highly recommend staying here.
Deborah
The Island House is a unique property on the island. Quiet and exclusive. The property and rooms are beautiful and the staff goes above and beyond to provide great service. While it’s a very small hotel, the dining options provide great variety. We weren’t sure what to expect with the beach access, but we were driven in a private car and picked up whenever we wanted. The private beach is beautiful and quiet, with a beachfront bar and food. There is not a lot to do around the property and you will need to take a 30 minute ride into town for most excursions.

The only kink was Wifi being out the entire week (needed to be able to check work emails). Seemed strange for a property of this caliber. Would love to return again. Fantastic.

The boutique atmosphere, the setting and amenities ( exercise classes, spa, pool, dining all lovely. Common areas are lovely. Stunning spacious rooms and baths with lovely amenities. Service staff very professionals. Ladies in the Spa are awesome! Exercise instructor was great as well!

Super quiet Island Paradise. Nestled away and nothing like all of the crowded resorts. Loved Sunny at the pool!

My time there was great

Stayed here on a solo birthday trip after reading reviews by other patrons. I’m glad I chose this hotel as I felt like it was perfect for a female solo traveling looking for peace, quietness and tranquility. The grounds of this property were so beautiful and well kept. I felt there was enough entertainment on the property to keep me satisfied on the days that I did not leave the area. If you are planning to leave the area I would suggest renting a car because this location is far from downtown and the taxis can really add up. The airport is rly close however. The one downside was the shuttle for the beach as when I took the shuttle I didn’t not receive prompt service getting back to the property which felt rly uneasy being left. I would suggest a better shuttle schedule just for the beach. Besides that the staff were amazing and helpful at all times. Top notch customer service. I would absolutely stay again

Imagine a wonderful private enclave with several wonderful restaurants, curated shopping, stunning rooms, suites, and duplex apartments - this is the Island House.
The staff is there for every need or want. Truly exceptional and anticipated our needs.
I am missing the crispy and spicy tofu poke.

Beautiful property with a great pool. Perfect if you want some peace and quiet

When you hear Bahamas, this is what you should be dreaming about. Lush grounds, amazing food, warm lovely people. Everything is designed to perfection- the weight of the coffee cups at Yellowbell restaurant, the lounge chairs by the olympic sized pool, the quality of the towels, everything was chosen with beauty and function in mind. If you read a bad review about TIH, the reviewer is the issue, not the TIH.
Things to know: many restaurants on site, beach shuttle to a private beach club that also has amazing food. The place is quiet, calm and peaceful. If you want little Vegas, go to elsewhere. If you want perfection, come here and be cool.

Highly recommend this property. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The grounds are absolutely lush and inviting, a little slice of paradise.

I'm almost reluctant to give a review, in fear that too many people will find TIH, and its specialness will disappear. But to say anything bad would be an outright crime. TIH was EXACTLY what my tired mind, body, and spirit needed. The property is clean, the staff are professional, and the rooms are excellent. But what I found most valuable was how quiet and peaceful the property is. Calming but not boring light music in the background, calming and grounding modern color scheme, and generally quiet staff. If you are a traveler looking for a place where you can read by the pool, no social media dominated space, and no upselling, then I highly recommend TIH! I will definitely be back...and soon!

Beautifully designed and managed hotel!
Our stay at The Island House was even better than what we expected. The hotel staff especially in the reception were very friendly. The rooms were exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable. The hotel’s architecture and interior design are of very good taste.
The pool area is beautiful and was always tidy. The gym and yoga room are amazing as well. They have special classes going on every now and then in the movement studio. I got to attend a sound healing class in the movement yoga room during my stay.
The food in the restaurants was always very good (although somewhat pricey). I personally liked the hospitality, staff and menu in Yellowbell the most. Although there is no “room service” per se, there is a small gourmet market on the hotel property and a pizza place with a nice menu where you can pre-order, if you want to have lunch or dinner in your room. Make sure to ask where these are located.
Even though locals and members can visit the restaurants, our experience was generally pretty chill.
The hotel is just a 12 minute ride to the airport. And 5 minute ride to the beach. The beach area belongs to a private club and your daily membership is included when you stay. Even though we went in July and it is considered peak season, it was pretty chill and not packed at all which was great.

Second stay at Island House. It is a beautiful property and the staff are very friendly. Food is great. Beach is amazing.

Loved the staff! Made it the best!

The Island House is a refuge on an island with really big hotels. The pool was quiet, our room was comfortable and the restaurants were wonderful.
Jeanie
Helpful staff, lovely property. Wish you provided shuttle to/from airport.
Sarah
Amazing boutique hotel in every way. The beach club was a nice plus. Extremely clean and high quality. We will be back.

Wonderful stay at the Island House. Already thinking about our return!

We've traveled to almost every island there is...but hadn't been to Bahamas for a very long time.
We chose The Island House because we don't like the high-rise elevator type resorts. We were not disappointed.
The Island House is a perfect boutique resort, ALL the staff are friendly and efficient, the grounds are immaculate and the rooms are awesome. All rooms are the same layout (which is huge and with amazing bathroom) they just have different locations on the property - but with 30 rooms none are far away from the gorgeous pool and common areas. No running down early to throw a book on a lounge chair, no fighting other guests for amenities.
We chose The Island House because the room price was extremely reasonable compared to some outrageous prices we saw at the 2 big resort locations (you know who they are). We were thrilled to death that we chose The Island House - it's super classy and we will definitely stay again. Their 2 main restaurants are excellent too. PS: on our last 2 days there, John Malkovich and his lady checked in for a few days...if it's good enough for someone who could stay anywhere - it should be good enough for you!

This visit was one of the best vacations we have been on. We appreciated the limited number of guest and the ease of accessing Old Fort Bay Beach. It was virtually empty and we could walk and enjoy it at our leisure. The staff was attentive and worked as a unit to insure our comfort. Finally, the ability to relax existed throughout the property with well placed loungers at the pool, in the reception area, the library, and outside of the dining area.
Omar
Amazing property, my wife and I loved the peaceful and relaxing vibe here.
The decor and interior design was so nice, definitely photo friendly.
The private beach shuttle to Old Bay fort club was a nice touch.
The rooms were more than spacious. Breakfast at Yellowbell was awesome, dinner at Mogano was great. Shima was a bit underwhelming.
Overall a wonderful stay.

Always a great stay
Always our last stop on a trip to the Bahamas. Great pool, craft drinks, and the restraunt inside the hotel, Shema, is always a hit. However, the service at Shema was slow this last stay, even for bahamas.

I booked a 5 day stay at the Island House for the first week of August. While there were no issues during my stay I would like to make future guests aware of dishonest business practices. I booked my stay through Expedia and paid extra for free booking cancellation/modification. For personal reasons I needed to amend my booking to arrive a day later than originally planned. I called Expedia within the free cancellation period and was given confirmation by the customer service agent that my booking would be amended with no fees. Upon arriving at Island House on the new arrival date, I was subsequently made aware by management that my cancellation request was denied and I would be charged for the night that I was not there. I was not given a valid reason why the amendment was not made, despite Expedia confirming it had been. Whether the blame is to be held with Expedia or Island House is of no significance. To be charged nearly C$1000 for a night that I was not at the hotel, and having made the amendment within the free cancellation period and accordance with their policy, is not only entirely unjust but is an instance of two companies acting dishonestly. This not what I would expect from businesses that each core competency is guest experience. I would not recommend using Expedia or Island House to future guests.
Shannon
We had a wonderful stay at the island house. Spectacular food and drinks. The private beach was paradise (although service at the beach wasn’t as good as at the Island House). The staff were fantastic, very kind and attentive. The facilities were top notch- high end treadmills, pool was quiet and great for doing laps or relaxing. Never had to worry about getting a place to sit by the pool in the shade. Don’t miss the Market which has packaged food and drinks (on the property but hidden a bit!).
Highly recommend and we will go back.

I was super excited to stay at The Island House with four of my friends, but when we got there we were told that all five of us weren’t allowed to stay in the double queen room that we booked due to “housekeeping” reasons and that we were required to purchase an additional room for a charge of $1700 on top of the $1800 we already paid for our room. After a bunch of back & forth we were told that a maximum of 4 people are allowed to a room due to safety reasons. It was disappointing that we could not be better accommodated because we were not aware, especially since I had spoken to Antonique, one of the employees a week prior to our arrival to set up transportation and she was aware that there were a total of five people under 1 reservation and one room. Had it been mentioned then we would have found somewhere else to stay. We were only staying 3 nights & pleaded with them for some type of accommodation since we came all this way and had nowhere else to go even if we could just stay for one night until we figured it out, but that wasn’t possible without being charged for the entire weekend. The bigger disappointment was the manager James who could care less that we were essentially stranded and said that we should’ve read the policy. He was very cold & rude. We wasted an entire day going back & forth. They pretended as if there was going to be some type of resolve but kept coming back with the same exact answer. Overall just a very bad experience.
kara
Beautiful stay…the only issues we had were that there was no fridge in the room which is absolutely insane for what you pay, they don’t take cash which we had planned to use, we felt that staff members were talking about us behind the scene which made us very uncomfortable- also we were told things such as our room was ready and our taxi was here…just to find that our room was NOT ready and took another 30-45 mins after having waiting already an hour, and our taxi driver took off once already having arrived to go get gas so we had to wait even longer. Everything was extremely overpriced, would probably not return.

Small intimate hotel. Very quiet to relax and recharge.

This boutique hotel is probably the best experience and unique property I have ever visited!! The manager Kera and all the staff on this property are absolutely lovely!!! The grounds are filled with lush plantings, good food and very nice rooms. I’m already planning to come back and I just checked out! If you looking for great customer service in a beautiful space this is it!
