"Rebuilt post-hurricane so brand new throughout. Our suite was a good size and well-equipped, power blinds, nice balcony. Excellent bed and bedding. Dante’s - which a little cold and noisy - the only dining option when the Tiki bar had a private event and the Tiki bar closes at 7 in any event. Very pleasant and helpful staff. An excellent coffee service at the reception. I would come back!"
