Just ok - needs more maintenance

Room needs some work: mold/mildew on bathroom ceiling, sink doesn’t drain very well, TV is crooked on wall, and pillows are lumpy. On the plus side, bed was comfortable (aside from the pillows), laminate flooring is nice, and breakfast was decent (although breakfast trash can was overflowing and floors were sticky).

For when I can’t get to an island as fast…

It was a lovely, and needed little vacation for myself. I slept well. The food was good. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. The beach being right there too made it that much better.

For the most part our trip went well, seeing security and or local police often kind of made us feel a little sketchy even about 9:30pm knocking on our door looking for a girl complaining about something only to be told they might have the wrong room, weird also they knew my last name

My experience was great. The room was nice and the TV was very modern loved it. Loved the free breakfast make sure you wake up for that. the beach is so close and I recommend going through the entrance through the sanctuary for a great spot. Super close to Walmart and other places for food. Yes there is a micro wave and fridge inside.

We had noise from running up and down on the second level well into am. Floors dirty/gritty. Laundry not working. Understaffed at breakfast and was crowded. Cooked food was not good. Overpriced for the accommodations... outdated building.
