My family (5 children, 2 adults) stayed in Villa 6 during our visit to Nassau in August 2019. Our stay was wonderful! Scott and Kent and the rest of the staff were great to work with. They were available whenever we needed them, and responded quickly to any questions we had (before, during, and after our stay). We rented a car during our stay, so that made travel around the island very easy. The Silk Cotton villas are located close to downtown (you could walk there, but the roads are narrow and sidewalks are rare). There is shuttle service available on-site, but we didn't use that. I suspect that would be a great convenience for visitors who don't have a car.
The villa itself was very nice, and it had all the necessities available for eating in and being comfortable. The two pools onsite were nice - we spent quite a bit of time just sitting by the pool while the kids played. The onsite restaurant was an unexpected bonus. All the food we got from the restaurant was very good. It was very convenient on nights that we didn't feel like going out and didn't feel like cooking ourselves.
From what I read online before travelling, parts of Nassau can be dangerous. However, I must say that during my stay at Silk Cotton and even travelling around the island, I never felt unsafe. Sure there are some neighborhoods that you probably want to stay away from, but use good judgment and you'll have a very fun/safe/relaxing time on the island. I did like the fact that Silk Cotton was gated and had security for that extra sense of safety while on the premises.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Silk Cotton Villas and would definitely recommend it to others that are planning on visiting Nassau. Thank you Scott, Kent, and the rest of the staff for a great vacation!
