"The whole experience with this hotel was a 10/10. If I could rate it higher I would. From the breathtaking outside grounds to the beautiful interior, we were so impressed. The room was clean and very well taken care of. The free breakfast, was amazing. Not just couple donuts and cereal, but fresh coffee cake, ham and cheese with croissants, homemade muffins, not to mention the cookies and fruit that is by the registration counter. I cannot wait for our next trip back to the island to stay here again!"

"My room overlooked the beach. Room was good but still had the older beds and bed covers, not the new ones shown in most pictures. I will say, the were putting in new beds while I was there. They need to have someone to wipe the spider webs down on the balconies. And dust the top of the armoire, pretty dusty. It's a good stay. I would stay again. "
