Harbour View Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel location is next door to the Catholic Church and an easy 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants on the Island. The breakfast was of good quality, but lacked hot options other than instant oatmeal. Overall, this is a fine hotel and we will book again in the future."

"The room was clean. The breakfast was typical of other places. The towels and wash clothes were soft. The bed was comfortable along with the pillows. There is no elevator but the stairs were not a lot."

8/10 Good
"Loved the location and the view. They did have a towel issue where they took ours but didn’t have clean to replenish. Sounds like there was a laundry issue but we did get some eventually and used some bath mats to get cleaned up for dinner. Loved the pools and the hot tubs were fabulous. Breakfast was well done but by the third morning it was a bit repetitive."
