Great location. Great price.

Great location. Great price. Check in was not made clear. I was never sent any code for lockbox. Luckily I decided to just try to open it and it wasn’t locked so I was able to get my key. Room was comfortable and clean but smelled like a bird cage. Maybe bc it had just rained but smelled horrible.

I stayed for one night for work. The area is very nice the bay very pretty. the hotel and staff were very helpful and polite. the room was spacious and very clean with A/C. I cannot comment on breakfast as was up and gone early. good proximity to shops and beach. I ate out in a local bar which there are many to choose from. don't expect a cheap one though!

Not what you would expect from a 3-stars hotel

They never changed our towels during a 4 days stay. They ignored the sticker on the door asking to have the room cleaned. Check-out is as early as 10:30 AM, while check-in is at 4:00 PM. Yet, they still asked us to check in one hour later. Our request to check-out later was rejected. The mattress is uncomfortable. On a positive note, the darkening curtains work wonders (but don’t move them too fast, or they will fall) and there wasn’t much noise at night.

Great value.

Consider it like a 16 room Bed & Breakfast and not like a bigger hotel that has 24/7 concierge. Nice owner. Location not bad once you learn the shortcut paths to the main action of the village. I enjoyed my stay.

Very cute little hotel in a cute little town. But room was right against the lobby with thin walls, which felt a tiny bit awkward. Lovely otherwise.

Proper location with easy walking access to shops, marina, restaurants and beach. It has a unique feel to it, and is good value for the price. Virginia was very kind, stayed late to meet us at our arrival, and had valuable suggestions to make our trip even more enjoyable. When booking with Expedia you can select the time of your arrival to let them know what time you will arrive, since there isn’t a person at the front desk at all hours. This helped us check in a bit early.
