i think all the rooms have ocean view. It is a modest place, but well priced and convenient. Our airbnb was a disaster, so we booked this last minute and weren't disappointed.

We stayed at this Property around 25 times in the last 35 years. We love it. Nothing fancy, but it’s right on the water and dive boats pick you up from the dock. The pool is wonderful with a swim up bar.

Run down but worth it

It is a run down hotel but perfect if you want to be near the place with all the restaurants and shops. It us nicely located right in front of a mega grocery store/department store where you can fund anything you need. It has its private access to the beach for snorkeling and diving companies can pick you up right at the hotel’s pier. The pool looks nice and it has a bar with discount for hotel guests

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is a dump. The bathroom was gross, the metal around the shower is all rusted, the silver on the mirror was almost gone and we had 2 large cockroaches in the bathroom during our trip. The maid never cleaned the bathroom and after 3 days I had to ask for new towels. Only 1 towel per guest, no wash cloths or hand towels. The beach bar is so loud you can't possibly any rest, the music starts before 8:00 am and goes to 10:00 pm. There is no safe in the room only at the front desk and it costs $1 to use the safe. The air conditioning didn't work for 3 days, my travel companion ended up fixing it on his own. This place is cheap and directly across from Mega but if you can afford a better hotel I highly recommend it!

Check in took a long time and after asked for 2 dollars US per night for some island improvements tax. If is well needed since there is garbage everywhere. It’s survived is based on the cruise ships that came in daily, not going back for sure.

Holiday stay

We truly loved the location and the staff was super friendly. The housekeeping did not do a very good job cleaning the room. The room was adequately appointed however the beds were like sleeping on a bare box spring the springs dug in to your body. The shower had a horrid sewer smell. We would stay again and most likely will as we had such a fun time at the facility.
