Very nice resort located along the strip on the Dutch side. The property is clean, and the staff is very friendly. Although housekeeping isn’t provided unless you’re staying 5+ days, the staff was quick to deliver towels and any other necessities when requested. The only slight inconvenience was the elevator access. If you’re on the west side of the building (near the BBQ restaurant), the ground-floor elevator is reserved for staff only. This meant carrying luggage and groceries up and down the stairs to the second floor (stairs are very steep) or taking a longer walk to the available elevator. Additionally, the walk from the lobby to the far west side of the building is quite long.

Our 2 bedroom suite was very well appointed and equipped. There was a lovely view of the bay from our balcony which we really enjoyed with our morning cup of tea. The hotel is withing walking distance of many good restaurants and smaller eateries. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
