Lovely resort. It had a kitchen but no oven. The room was clean and the linen refreshed daily. The view was incredible. Hoping to go back again next year.
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 dated and I had to request that it be cleaned again. The pool area was nice with plenty of seating.
We thought it was a great bang for our buck! Affordable stay with amenities and a great pool deck. House keeping could have been a little better, otherwise no complaints!

rooms were clean, staff was very kind. The beds were very comfortable. The pool and beach access was our favorite thing during our stay.
I loved everything about staying here. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I am glad I did not let the negative reviews sway my decision. I will definitely book again.
The room was outdated but clean.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.
