Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We wanted a place convenient and near the water. This place was just in off the main road, yet quiet and discreet. Parking adequate, pool and pool bar great. Our room was clean, smaller than Marriott, but worked. The staff were hard working, diligent and respectful. Close by the Japanese Steakhouse for sushi. They have a eating kitchen/cafe next to the hotel that is brand new and has good hours. Loved the beach and walking to find seashells.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I paid a lot of money $500 per night for this hotel...our room looked like a super 8 motel room and the hanging closet fell off the wall the second night we were there. the room was not particularly clean. The room was outdated and is dire needs of an update. It was our honeymoon suite as we got married during our stay. We left a day early because of the condition of our room. the beach is really nice but not worth the investment for a three-night stay. we asked for a one-night reprieve on pricing, but they said that Hotels.com would not allow that. They were willing to give us a credit but Hotels would not grant the request. Nothing positive to say about this hotel.

I was disappointed to be placed in a King accessible room when I clearly chose a regular King. It was smaller than expected; had a microwave & refrigerator that froze our water & carrots but didn’t have either the table with 2 chairs, or the 2 person sofa bed with coffee tables as shown, so nowhere to place a snack that you’d have in microwave or refrigerator. So disappointing. It was clean and new looking inside though. Just be sure to get what you ask and pay for.

Positive stay overall
The room was clean and nice. The bed and pillows were a lot more comfortable than those at a lot of other places we've stayed. Our rooms were cleaned daily even when we thought it might have been too late to have the room cleaned. I really enjoyed the heated pool and the bar as well as the private beach and access to beach chairs.

I've stayed at this establishment several times and love everything about their facilities. . Its very clean, the beds are comfy, the people are very friendly and helpful. I like that you can walk out the door and the beach is right there. The have a laundry room,so no more leaving the island or taking home sandy clothes. Theres plenty.of parking, and their location is the best
