Meh …

Overpriced for a fairly tired hotel. No hot water. Great location near beach is the only positive. But for over $250 a night, not really up to that standard of that price bracket. If it was $150 per night, that would be more on par with the standard of the buildings/rooms.

Just ok - needs more maintenance

Room needs some work: mold/mildew on bathroom ceiling, sink doesn’t drain very well, TV is crooked on wall, and pillows are lumpy. On the plus side, bed was comfortable (aside from the pillows), laminate flooring is nice, and breakfast was decent (although breakfast trash can was overflowing and floors were sticky).

For when I can’t get to an island as fast…

It was a lovely, and needed little vacation for myself. I slept well. The food was good. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. The beach being right there too made it that much better.

My experience was great. The room was nice and the TV was very modern loved it. Loved the free breakfast make sure you wake up for that. the beach is so close and I recommend going through the entrance through the sanctuary for a great spot. Super close to Walmart and other places for food. Yes there is a micro wave and fridge inside.

The perfect family Hotel!

This was a great stay during a busy weekend. First time staying here and had a pleasant time. Friendly staff and quiet. Nobody had any complaints and our door Dashers were able to easily find our rooms to deliver dinner. And came with free breakfast and fire pits??! We'll be back
