Default Sheraton vs. British Colonial Hilton

We'll be spending a day in Nassau later in February. We're trying to decide between a day pass to the Sheraton and a day pass to the British Colonial Hilton. For those of you that might be familiar with both, which one is nicer/better?

Depends on what you are looking for.
The Hilton is a quiet business hotel with a small private beach on the harbour.. with a small relaxing pool. If you're into just chilling out and working on your tan or reading a book.. this is the place.

Sheraton is a very active resort.. 3 pools, large beach, water toys, snorkeling, inflatables, volleyball etc.
It's located at Cable Beach which is easy to get to by jitney.

There is a ton of recent information including pictures on this forum. Do a search.

Agree, depends on what you are looking for.

Me, Sheraton was "hands down" a better option . . . definitely a resort feel in a "good way". Hilton was too close to the ship for me . . . in fact I would of done Junkanoo Beach over the Hilton if it came down to it . . . Hilton just was too quiet, too close and for $60 I felt it was too expensive. But I'm sure many people feel its a great relax day, which I'm sure it is.

Your day pass at the Hilton for 60 includes a food coupon, the Sheritan at 30 does not. But we loved the Sheritan, we were there last October-um two Octobers ago-but it was quite. We got there at 1 and left at 4:30, it was a wonderful laid back afternoon.
