Amazing hotel, great food and great accommodations. Only drawback is the suites have limited clothing storage and no drawers. Regardless, would stay here again.

Everything was great. I was charged an amenity fee and I wasn’t aware of this, I also gave a tip. If I would have known I was being charged that would have been helpful. I was not aware the credit I received for food was for the restaurant next to the hotel. I paid for food that was not correct and I didn’t eat it. Other than that everything was wonderful. Staff are very kind.

Nice place for a weekend visit, although a bit pricey for my taste. I'd come back if I was with my significant other though. She'd really love it

Hotel Magdalena
The hotel was fabulous, very Austin cool. The staff was amazing. The tv in one of the rooms of our suite had a software issue. It was late at night so the staff gave my husband a key to the room next door so my husband could watch TV without waking me.
The pool was awesome and food delicious!!! We will return!!!!!

Not impressed
Staff was rude. There were cigarette buds on the balcony and no soap in the room. We had a double bed room but the bathroom door did fully close and the dressing area was very small. The other rooms might be better.

Nice Hotel. Service was lacking this time, as I have stayed here before. Will come back as the location is great and facilities are nice. Service at front desk and restaurant need some lift.

If you like Bahamian service, you will love…
Upon check-in, one bed didn’t have any pillows. No on brought luggage to my room even though bellman unloaded my car for us. On day of checkout, I requested my car via QR code given. I went downstairs twenty minutes later to be told the app isn’t working…took 35 minutes for valet to bring my car. Also, I was told the bellman was super busy when I called to inquire where he was to collect our luggage, but when I went to valet I saw a luggage cart in the corner so decided to go scoop my own luggage again.
