Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Room was clean overall, so the cleaning staff is doing a good job. No breakfasts at all despite being heavily advertised and you must pay an extra 15 dollars to simply park your car on the property?? Front desk is open late so that could be helpful if needed. Overall not impressed but at least we had a place to stay for the night.

This place was very clean and looked to be remodeled recently. It was so nice and roomy. The mini split kept the room nice and cool. The only issue was that the walls are pretty thin and we could hear the neighbor’s conversations. Other than that, it was a nice stay next to the bay. You do have to pay for parking.

Great lil place to stay. Not far walking from beach or any shopping place. The front counter lady was absolutely the sweetest and very helpful with information regarding island. Toilet ran all night but really no complaints cause room was cold. Grab snacks and drinks cause outside machines dont work but rooms have a fridge and microwave.
