Yesterday we ran a review of Compass Point Hotel, on New Providence Island in the Bahamas. There was a nice view of the colorful cabanas from the dock out in the water, but this gives you the view looking out at the sea.

This is a 360-degree video tour, so you can see a few chalets, the big hot tub, and the pool and restaurant in the distance past that. As you'll see, there's a splash of color at every turn. Enjoy!
