Roomy, comfortable and clean rooms. Beautiful facility. Beautiful pool. Negatives would be no private patios, poor lighting in the bathroom and distance from beach. However, this hotel is still very nice and provides an affordable family vacation spot on the island.

Overall great! We arrived early, asked for an early check in, the manager immediately complied with our request. He gave us the key card to a room that was ready. It was not. An hour & half later, he gave us a new room. Just a little disappointed. The room did not disappoint. It was clean, nice decor, very comfortable. The shower was awesome.

Will not return

When we walked in the room, it felt muggy and smelt horrible. The air conditioner would not come on. I called the front desk and no answer. I ended up leaving in the middle of the night due to being so uncomfortable.

This hotel is now a Beat Western Plus. It was our first time staying here, but we would stay again. We go for the bike trail, the good restaurants, and the beautiful areas, not the beach, so we don’t mind if we are not on beach front. The hotel was quiet and well taken care of. Breakfast was typical but nothing special, and that’s fine with us. The pool is large and there is a separate patio area in the back where we had our breakfast and enjoyed sitting in after dinner. Overall, this is a very nice place to stay.

Nice stay for large family

It was a great stay over all. I would stay again for sure with the family of 8. The room was large everyone was comfy and had their own space. The property and pool was very nice & clean, family friendly. The free breakfast was very nice and plenty of options. The staff done a nice job replenishing food as needed. There was a few minor things, such as sofa bed didn't have a bag for pillow & blanket. We kindly asked front desk she was kind even brought it to our room. Housekeeping could have slowed down a bit, when opening the sofa bed there was a pile of Cheetos under it from prior guest, back missing off one of the TV remotes battery (not really a big deal) but the rest of the room was nicely clean. Oh and the kitchen had a nice coffee pot with all needed accessories (cups, sugar & cream packets) but no coffee, that could have possibly been overlooked by housekeeping as well due to it being stored under the kitchen cabinet. Luckily I was able to get a fresh cup from breakfast area.
