Pool and beach was amazing ! If you rented a car and exploring the island for the price this was perfect hotel. The only hiccup was we never got any towels for bathroom and the parking was a bit inconvenient with the tickets . I’ll go back to stay

The room was outdated but clean. Check in and out process was smooth. Beds were fine and there was plenty of room for myself and my pre teen boys. We absolutely LOVED the pool, beach access and amenities. Loved the pool grill. Plenty of restaurants and fun within walking distance. We will definitely stay here again.
