This is my 6th time staying at this location prior to a cruise; and other than the Expensive cost for a 1 night stay (approx 1/4 the cost of a 7 day cruise), the convenience of this property to the cruise ships and dining is hard to beat! I should say, the cost for this location is comparable to the rest of the island, but with much better amenities and more conveniences. That said, shop prices for this location on their private and 3rd party sites before booking; and the hotel will NOT match 3rd party prices.
