Renovated hotel but service in all areas is lacking. Took over an hour to get a bowl of soup in the restaurant. Coffee bar does not take room charge or cash or American Express. Please beware check out per person takes over 10 minutes. Room smells like Clorox and we had no hot water in the shower. During the day, the area is very safe, but after the cruise ships leave and the store is closed. Please be careful.

The hotel was very beautifully renovated but the rooms were small and had absolutely no view.

So glad I picked this!

Absolutely loved my stay! This charming hotel is super central and felt totally safe as a solo woman traveler. The beach is stunning—with plenty of chairs, helpful staff, and no need to trek through a giant resort. My “garden view” room even had ocean views, and I loved watching the cruise ships go by. The Caribbean chicken wrap? So good. Bonus points for live music at the hotel bar, and having McDonald’s across the street and Junkanoo Beach just a short walk away (though the hotel’s beach is way better). You even get access to Margaritaville as a partner property! Perfect spot for a relaxing, no-fuss getaway.

The place is not worth the price booked for. The rooms are not thoroughly cleaned. They only change the sheets and remove and replace there things inside such as towels and robes and trash but this is what the costly resort fee supposedly go towards. The floors are dirty, you can’t walk around without shoes. At certain times the water in shower does not get hot, stays cold or close to a cool room temperature. Not cool at all. The shower in the room is cute but very SMALL! The food at the resort is not really tasty … I rather the food outside the resort. The wings and steak were only good, and the breakfast is ok. The conch fritters is sooo breaded you can hardly taste what’s inside. Overall I’d rate this place a 6.5/10. It’s not worth the price advertised. Gorgeous looking place but not worth the price of what’s provided.

Musty rooms, Bathrooms had black mould amongst the grout in the bathroom. Tub was brown. Very poor housekeeping. On some days none at all and limited use even when they came Staff service is terrible- unfriendly and reluctant to help. Check in delayed by 2 hours. Complimentary drink offerred but bar staff were reluctant to make same and refused to bring to our table. At the coffee shop, the lady cleaned her machine for 5min while I waited to but a pre made salad that had started to go off anyway. Pool and beach service non existent- guys stood around speaking to each other instead of helping set up umbrellas etc. Bar staff at the pool spoke rudely and open about other guests. In short-
