The rooms were clean. The bed was very comfortable. There was no elevator, but the staff carried all of my luggage to my room (and I had a lot of luggage). Breakfast was DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. My Jamaican friends stayed with us on this trip and they said the breakfast was 'a real Jamaican breakfast'.
