"This was a quick layover before heading to the other side of the island for our son’s wedding. We enjoyed being tucked into the tropical setting g bit still a quick walk to the beach. Really adorable place, clean and comfortable. As with many island accommodations there were only fans and breezes through open windows. And there were fun critters to keep us company."

8/10 Good
"The room we stayed in said it was a partial ocean view. When looking out the sliding glass doors from the living room, we had more of an ocean view than we were expecting. We also had partial ocean views when looking out from both bedrooms. The property has 3 pools and one of them is a quiet pool, which is the one we used the most. We arrived after hours and the security guy was helpful with showing us where the condo was located and then we were able to go the next morning to finish checking in."
