The hotel room was quite small, especially the entrance, and the private beach was not impressive. However, the staff made us wait unnecessarily, were unhelpful, and seemed indifferent to our concerns, although the manager eventually waived some fees for the inconvenience.

My stay was a pleasant surprise at this hotel. The rooms, though a bit outdated, were clean, well-furnished, and had comfortable beds. The service was professional and friendly. The location was perfect for my small family with great walking distance to restaurants and the island market. The dining options were limited and a bit overpriced.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms in a great location, but could benefit from a refresh. The service was friendly but with some delays. The fantastic location near the private beach and amenities is a big plus, though it may feel dreary at times. The dining experience is enjoyable with on-site pancake options.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was perfect for enjoying sunsets and day swims, with the convenience of walking right out to the beach. The service was top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff to make the experience enjoyable. However, the rooms were disappointing, as they were dirty and had a strange smell, plus the private beach was not what I expected. Dining was average, but overpriced for the quality offered.

Rooms

The rooms were so dirty that we couldn't even take off our shoes, and the smell was off-putting. They were also quite small, especially the doorways.

Service

The location was great initially with its own little private beach, although it became crowded with non-guests on boats dropping anchor. However, being the last hotel on the beach strip had its charm.

Dining
