At The Island House, reviewers highlight a serene boutique setting with spacious, stylish rooms, excellent dining, and well-liked amenities including a beautiful pool, a solid gym and spa, plus access to a private beach club.
Staff are widely praised for friendliness and attentiveness. Recurring downsides include slow or inconsistent breakfast and poolside service, and occasional lapses like missing gym water or towels. The secluded location is quiet and near the airport, but farther from downtown attractions. Expect a peaceful, upscale stay with strong amenities and a boutique feel.

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.

En fantastisk perle! Overgår forventningene og enda litt til! Stille og rolig, meget god service, fantastiske restauranter! Vi hadde noen herlige dager her! Og stranden var helt nydelig med shuttlebuss til og fra.

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!!

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!

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. You will enjoy THE ISLAND HOTEL

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.

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.

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! 🇧🇸

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

Such a relaxing property. Comfy beds. The food and drinks were fantastic. The reception desk staff were so kind. The type of property that you want to stay and enjoy all the features of the property.

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 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.

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 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.

Service
Service is frequently praised as warm, professional, and accommodating throughout the property. However, multiple reviews cite slow service at breakfast and by the pool/restaurants, plus isolated issues like a missed taxi booking and a delayed beach-shuttle pickup.

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.

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! 🇧🇸

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

Secluded and quiet setting with easy access to the airport (roughly a 10–12 minute drive). It’s farther from downtown and many activities, so taxis or a rental car are common.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
