Beautiful attention to detail at this tiny beach resort. Clean, beautiful beach area with hammock, pool, and parrots! The only lack here is that the only outlet to charge your tech is one plug in the bath.

Everything was great until your cleaning staff decided to use a leaf blower at such an early time of the morning, as we were the only guest on the property and were trying to enjoy mimosas and breakfast snacks sitting outside. They had not one care of it being right in our face and around us. That right there turned it all sour Really?

The hotel was reasonably priced and while a little dated, the rooms were large and clean. The staff was SUPER nice. All in all, a great place to stay a couple nights in the keys at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend!
