The staff was great. The property was very sad and needs to be upgraded badly. The potential is there but it was unfortunate.

I heard the property was in repair before I arrived but I didn't think the water fountain would be empty and the railings would feel like you will tumble over the side. It's old but not too bad for the price. Hopefully one day it can get back to it's glory.

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.
