Overall, we had a great time. With that said, we probably would not have booked if we knew the restaurant in the hotel that on the website- would be open.by May 22. At checkin, the front desk informed us that the restaurant is still closed. There is a food truck outside for food. 🤔 That was possibly the worst inconvenience for us. No breakfast, no lunch or dinner unless you drive to one up the island. Nice beach, nice balcony.

Oceanfront/view was only positive, have literally "gone to the dogs". you should really update your website to reflect the lack of "luxury" at your hotel: I booked this because of lounge/bar/restaurant: false advertising to think I could enjoy my stay at one place instead had to go out for every meal, bar hours were not as posted and were shut down by 9pm not midnight as posted, music was not as posted(Fern and Tiff cancelled but we didnt know), lounge was closed entire time, cash only bar when hotel is card only, just ridiculous. New owners need to get their act together, staff can only apologize so much. Would not recommend or return at this point, its a shame as we have been coming for years!!!!

The hotel is in good condition. Rooms are clean and stuff is very friendly. The 4 star review is due to the fact that is advertised a restaurant and a bar. When you get at the property you find out that the restaurant and the bar are closed due to construction. They have a tiki bar. Not too many options on drinks. And they take only cash

It was very quiet and not alot people. Very clean place. I didn't like that the dining area and bar was being worked on so it was close down. And i didnt like that I had to wait on the pool to open up at 930, when it opens up at 9 because the guy was cleaning it late but other then that i would come back here

Clean place that is right on the beach. Is it a 5 star hotel? No. Does it matter? Not at all. Right on the beach, all rooms face the water. Great place full of great and friendly staff! Will come back for sure!
