You are paying for the view here, dont expect anything more. This property could easily be updated with the amount they charge per night yet everything is outdated. beds were very uncomfortable as well. I am not a picky person but these people need to do better for these rates. It was clean, I will give them that and the view is great.

Really enjoyed our stay here! First floor ocean view room was right on the sand with a view of the dunes and the ocean. Great balcony to sit and chill. Beds were comfy and clean. Hotel was right in the middle of the island so very easy to anywhere you wanted. Great place!
