Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I really enjoyed my stay. I have read the other reviews which say odd things given that this is a hotel in a tropical region which just had a hurricane. The hotel was exactly what you would expect for a relaxed tropical experience. If you are looking for a resort that is antiseptic without any of the local flair then go there. This hotel was very safe, and they constantly checked to see if I was happy and if I needed anything at all. With the wifi being down on most of the island they had a backup wifi for anyone who needed it. I will absolutely stay here again. This was exactly the vibe I was looking for and the views were spectacular, the AC strong, the beds comfortable, the staff kind and welcoming, the sounds of the nature better than any white noise to put you to sleep. Ignore the reviews that were clearly looking for something other than a local hotel in the tropics. Walk 5 minutes to the street just above the hotel and have a delicious dinner at peppas with ocean views.

There was ocean view from the balcony. The touch lighted mirror is cute. Some rooms still have dilapidated furniture not suitable to sleep on or use. Toilet paper and hand sanitizer was given upon request and not before. Linen was dingy white with stains. It was hard to tell if towels were clean or just very old and dingy.Bathroom floor needs renovation.

My best

Let's start with the greeting. Don't want to mention that the airlines lost my luggage but it is what it is. Chris and Face helped me to obtain clothes and toiletries due to the fact i had nothing. They made me feel safe and comfortable. The rating chart is too low if i could i wold give them 10 stars. This nice quiet family owned resort is kind and compassionate They make you feel like you're apart of their family. Thabk you for you kindness.

Terrible stay away!!!!!

I did not stay longer than 10min. I got sick from the strong chemicals used to cover dust, wetness and moldy smell. I was symptomatic after 5min. I visited 2 rooms and none was accommodating. I ask for a refund immediately as advertisement is misleading and inaccurate but both hotlel.com and big apple denied me a refund. Terrible service on big sides. Also they said I request honeymoon sweet and that was inaccurate.
