The staff was very friendly and professional. They made us feel welcome. The view from our room was breathtaking and the beach was beautiful. The only thing I didn't like was the restaurant. No many options an a bit pricey. But it didn't matter since the hotel is close to many dining options. Looking forward to my next trip!

We hung at the bar for the time of our stay and Morgan was exceptional. There was also Marie, Devon and Adriel (I knicknaned him Baby). I had one minor issue with my room it was resolved in a matter of minutes with an email to follow up. This was my second stay as I usually stay at Simpson Bay, but it sure bet will not be that last. See you all in a couple of weeks!

The location is very central and you can walk to many restaurants. The beach was lovely and the view from our room was amazing. The food at the hotel was great and not as expensive as you would typically find in hotel. The Deli store was very covienent when you only needed snacks or drinks. The happy hour at the bar was fun and the staff at the Cabana bar were great specially Marie! As for the noise coming from the bar in front of the hotel, we did hear it but it did not bother us for sleep. Would come back to this hotel!

Overall, the property is nice. It’s right on the beach although the sand is rocky and not that smooth. The pool is small. Rooms were spacious and very clean. The food in the restaurant is mediocre. It is walking distance from most restaurants and cafés. Free parking was a bonus.
