Property is nice but to get to the beach you have to run across a busy street. Inside just needs updating. little tiny TV’s , Sliding door really hard to open(after I shut it the first time, I never could get it unlocked and opened again) Parts of the place, bathroom especially, needs to at least be rechalked as there is rust spots everywhere which make it feel dirty. There was a roach, which I never saw anywhere else on the island and I stayed in 3 different places over the 8 day trip. For the price, it was just not as nice as I would expect.

The front desk ladies were the best! Super friendly and helpful, with plenty of patience to give recommendations about the island. The location was perfectly in the middle of the island, so it was very easy and fast to drive to get where we needed - beaches, the ocean center, stores, restaurants, and even the hospital. The hotel provides guests with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and also coolers. The only downside of the room was the shower curtain being a bit too short, so it was hard not to flood the bathroom when we showered. Still would totally recommend this stay!

It was fine for a night, but there were quite a lot of ants in the room, the sound on the tv didn’t work, and it all seemed a bit cheaply put together. In my opinion it was not worth the price we paid

Excellent location and helpful staff, this is an older property with good room size, but it is very noisy with little insulation. Our bathroom window was broken and had to remain open so the noise level in our room was high. Good value for a large room.

The hotel is cute. I would have given 4 overall but the bathroom needs a little paint to modernize it. Kitchen is a sure plus and close parking is convenient. Beach is across the street. Front desk is very helpful. We stayed at the bottom floor. There may have been children above us who were running around at night.
