I loved everything! From the very unique room keys I've never seen before, to the pool available to not just hotel guest but even to the general public, to the very retro looking rooms which were so comfortable and cozy and even to the on site bar!! The bar is such a hidden gem! The drinks are phenomenal! The food was just absolutely delicious! They even have live music!! Like, wow! Such wonderful and fantastic experience overall and would 100% come again and even highly recommend this gem to a friend and family member! 10/10!

This place did not disappoint!!

My sister and I had an amazing time there! Hands down the most friendly and accommodating hotel staff we have ever met. They gave us a tour of the property, held our luggage after we had to check out of the room but before we had to leave to the airport, and gave us some great recommendations. The location is great as well - very easy to walk most places, and the bus stops close to the hotel if you don't want to walk. 10/10 would recommend staying here!

Absolutely fantastic!!

The staff absolutely made our stay incredible! Ginny, the new owner, is personable and so accommodating! Shannon and Jessica were both so welcoming...we felt like we were visiting old friends or family. The place is so chill and the best place to unwind. The beach is a few minute walk from the hotel. The drinks were reasonably priced and the food was amazing! Kudos to the chef and also to the great people I met (Ginny, Shannon and Jessica)! We will look no further for our yearly stay on the island!

This place is awesome
