Every thing was great! The room is smallish but comfortable. There is a balcony with a view but it’s only 2ft deep so really not possible to sit on it. The roof top deck is terrific and we enjoyed bkfst and a glass of wine later in the day out there. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only caution is that there is a short hill ( maybe .25 miles) leading to it. For some dragging a bag up it can be difficult.

One of the best hotels to stay at on the island!! I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s very clean, modern, and well kept. The staff is incredibly welcoming and reliable. Parker and Melissa were very accommodating and gave great recommendations for food and activity on the island. The view of the ocean on the third floor gathering area is real treat too with lots of space. Also the continental breakfast was good, plenty of food, coffee, and juice. They served free wine and cheese on Friday. I highly recommend staying here than some of the other hotels, this place is probably the best bang for the buck, especially since it’s so close to the beach.

Quick Getaway

The front desk service was excellent. Room was cute and quaint. I recommend wearing your kicks since the hotel is uphill. I will definitely come back.

The one thing that I would suggest is the property to have is a golf cart that can pick up there guests at the bottom of the road to the hotel. It’s a steep walk up to the hotel, especially for seniors.

All Bad. The room was extremely small. I kept bumping into corners. The queen bed took 80% of the room.

The room was much much smaller than depicted in the pictures. The bathroom was dirty, when we had room service they just re-hung up our dirty items instead of actually cleaning them.
