Great value but main problem was mosquitos!

Great value overall but for such a tiny bunk room, I'm surprised with how many mosquitos were in there. Upon entering, we immediately noticed around 2 which after a bit of effort I was able to kill in a few minutes. But, the surprising thing is they kept coming back. It's almost like there's a hole somewhere that they were coming in from and there were perpetually 2 - 3 mosquitos in there. By the end of the first night I killed 6. Then the next morning I killed another 3. Luckily we had wearable head nets to better prevent mosquitos from biting us but I think I still had one bite on my ankle through the blanket. Maybe the doors can also be kept closed more during cleaning?

Very low-key. Very small. Grounds are more like a compound. Nothing fancy about this place but it served the exact purpose we wanted. Basically connected to Lazy Jacks Bar that has a decent menu and a solid mixed drink selection. I wouldn’t normally give this type of establishment 4-stars but taking into consideration the location, walkability, accessible parking and quiet grounds it seemed fitting. There wasn’t anything outstanding about this place but there also wasn’t anything wrong with it.

Motel Maybe

Understand that this is at best a motel and more like a hostel. It is not to the level of a motel 6 but the location is good. AC works well and the bed is fine but accommodations are commensurate with the 6 or 7 rating. There is a musty smell in the room and it could use some TLC. No hot water no matter how long I let it run.

Checkin process is all automated, with a lockbox for the room key. They DO have facilities to store your luggage if you arrive before checkin. It was very small but clean and for our short stay it was more than enough. If we had to stay longer I would probably choose elsewhere though

This is a beachfront area so funky beachy. The office was very attentive and made arrangements for guests to safely store luggage post check out. Our only issue was the a/c blew directly at the bed and was cold even when we raised the temperature.

An ok experience

It was an ok experience. I wish I would’ve known more information about the services that were available. I didn’t know that the bathroom was located outside of the room. Also, there was no refrigerator ti keep cold items nor a coffee maker to make coffee. Which by the way the island, didn’t have coffee almost anywhere especially in the evening/night hours. The second floor of the bunk bed was too closed to the ceiling. There’s no “hot” water in the showers. Other than that the room was very clean and organized. The bathrooms were clean as well but very small and uncomfortable to place items since you need to get dressed inside the bathroom.

There was no hot water and candy wrappers in the trash can inside the room when we checked in. There was no television, mini fridge or microwave. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The air conditioning was ice cold and refreshing. The black out curtains were also an added appreciated luxury for sleeping in.

I booked for a family room, and I got a room that is big enough for two kids! Days later, my acount was charged without authorization. Lazy Guesthouse is dirty, the bathrooms are outside and filty, there are no televisions, and the area is noisy! Additionally, they promote false advertisement. The rooms are not what they are advertised to be! The room was advertised to accommodate 3 adults and 2 children. The room can ONLY accommodate 1 adult and child. Overall, I had the worst experience ever! Besides, my card was charged without authorization!
