Balcony railing was completely rusted and unsafe to even touch. Everything else was satisfactory. If you need peace and quiet, this hotel is the place to be. The food was delicious. Best darn burger I ever ate, but you better order before 5-5:30pm closing time or else you’ll have to ferry to the island for food… island life 😁 I would visit again, thanks.

I have stayed here several times and I've never had a problem. This time I got moved from room to room to room because the air conditioning was not working. I ended up having to go into a downgraded room because there were no more suites available. The room we moved from because of no AC, my brother got electrocuted by a light switch. We were informed that the reason why the AC was not working was because there was a burnt wire on the roof that controlled things for our room. It's no wonder why Rickie got electrocuted when he tried to turn off the light. What irritates me the most is I was not compensated for the price difference. So until renovations are done and I don't have to worry about this being a problem again, I will no longer stay here.

This property could be a goldmine. A hotel on its own island! Come on now! However, this is not the case and property is in desperate need of a whole renovation. Personally, I feel it should be demolished and rebuilt. Staff was very nice. BBQ food was very good along with bar. Unfortunately, because of how run down and dumpy the entire property is, we immediately checked out next day. If owner ever decides to rebuild or do a major overhaul of property, we would consider going back. However, if it stays like this, NEVER AGAIN! It is a real shame. We were really looking forward to staying there.

It's location is like a Beach Resort, but cheaper. I enjoyed the Karaoke Night on Tuesday. The Beach is not crowded and the sand was fun to walk on. I got one fresh coconut that fell from its tree near where I was sitting and the "Handyman" Mr. Oscar, helped to cracked it open; I enjoyed the coconut milk and the flesh. The room was clean with supplies of coffee/pot, cutleries, iron/board, air dryer, etc. But the Bed was too soft and sinking a little bit. I didn't complain because my room was on Ocean View and I thought to change might put me out of the View.

The room is very outdated. The iguanas are like stray cats as soon as you open the balcony door, two iguanas were already sitting out there, looking at us on the brick and then when we stepped out onto the balcony three more Iguanas popped out from the bushes and two rushed us on the deck waiting for food. That was so we just first got in the room. I had called the front desk to see if we can get in the room but she said all the third floor was booked so we had to stay in that room. We just didn’t go on the balcony anymore. Even when we opened the curtain they would come to the balcony or watch you from the bricks waiting for us to give them something if we close the curtains for a couple hours they would eventually leave, but we made a game out of it.

What I liked, beach, convenient ferry rides, & very spacious. The room we were given shouldn't have been given to anyone in its condition. Thats why i rates the staff a 3, the work that needs to be done is blatantly obvious. While I could have complained upon check in, we didn't. We were exhausted, and figured, if this is what they gave us, the odds of a better unit probably didn't exist. I did let the front desk know upon check out.

I like that's a little island away from everything but the beach ⛱️ is just steps away from your room.I love my view of the water and Gallows bay.I like the fact that they evacuated us safely before the storm into a waiting hotel. I didn't like that the sliding door does not securely close, it's weather worn.
