Hotel is great! Rooms are very nice and feel clean and fresh. Location is perfect with east walking distance to everything, and nice restaurants just around the corner.
We enjoyed our stay and extended it a day thanks to Christian who also helped arrange taxis and ferries for us. The bed was a bit firm, breakfast was good. We liked the walk into town and found great places along the way, try 1835 restaurant just down the street
Great walking distance to everything, snorkel and bike rentals around the corner, clean rooms, good AC and plenty of purified water stations for bottle refilling. Breakfast was great with a nice variety day to day. Staff was lovely and provided great advice and recommendations!
We love the location. Easy to walk to the waterfront and through town. The breakfast was better than expected for a continental breakfast. Staff was excellent!!
The staff decorated the bed for my birthday. The breakfast was great and something different everyday. I loved the French toast and the veggie omelette! Extremely helpful and friendly staff.
The front desk (young men) are really professional helpful and nice, besides the property manager was very professional and helpful thanks Fernandina I highly recommend
A great hotel with beautiful amenities. Town is about 5-10 min walk away. They also have lounge, bar, outdoor pool and outdoor hot tub. Very beautiful setting with indoor and outdoor seating and free continental breakfast. The breakfast was buffet style and EXCELLENT!
