Traveled with partner
Disliked: Amenities
It was a basic as it gets and very disappointing! I was scared to death b/c the shower didn't work at all for 2 or 3 minutes until the water started trickling out. It needs major updating in the bathroom. We were laughing b/c so many are so fat they would not even fit in the room or especially th bathroom! No Lie! They also closed at noon. No desk shrive or anything. U cannot even go on a tour b/c if it s a day your leaving later in the day you have no where to leave your luggage! really weird and unacceptable!

Hotel cancelled less then 24 hours

Booked this 2 days in advance. Got contact from hotel stating that by room is not available and not other rooms available. No other options were offered. Asked for alternatives myself, was recommended some hostel which is not even on Expedia. Quite dissapointed.

Nice cozy hotel, very close to beach.

The owner greeted us with a smile and gave us a very good summary of the island and the activites. The room was very clean and very pretty, with a good view over the town center and the ocean. We had a beautiful trip.

Nice hotel with lovely friendly staff

This is a nice hotel which has all the amenities you require. We stayed here a week and had a lovely time. Its right on the main road and overlooks the sea. Very comfortable with air conditioning and a ceiling fan too. There is a fridge which was replenished with water every day.
