I liked that the property was in walking distance to some places of interest. I liked the staff. I didn’t like that lunch wasn’t available. I hated that the air was blowing towards the door and not on the bed. This made trying to rest very unpleasant.

Fabulous little hotel just a 5 min walk from the Bob Marley Museum. A safe hotel, basic but what we expected, very clean (I would have given it 6 stars if I could), easy to find, loads of parking. Staff are friendly. Very nearby in a few mins walk is a coffe shop, supermarket and a local bar and restaurant.

The Shirley retreat was one of the most amazing hotels I have ever been to. If you’re looking for a quiet . This is the place if you’re not looking for a place with a pool I just want something quiet and easy.
