The staff was very attentive and responsive to requests. Dislikes The porch and balcony lighting, particularly the porch lighting was intrusive to being able to sleep. The window covering couldn't block out the light. The balcony door lock was difficult to operate. Air conditioning was not able to be controlled in each room and ran continuously. Parking was very tight.

The place is in desperate need of a makeover. Most of the outlets in the room were covered with a Blank Wall Plate. Absolutely NO closet or anywhere to hang anything except for 1 tail rack. The best part of the hotel is the rooftop that needs some TLC. The rooftop doesn’t open until 10 AM

Our room key did not work until 24 hours after checkin everytime we needed to access our room we had to wait for maintenance which could take about 20 minutes or so. The next day we asked the owner Jadie for some discount in which we were informed to do so the night before she gave us 10% off first night. Also explained there was no parking available. She said it doesn’t say guaranteed just each room comes with a parking spot I assumed that meant we had a parking spot I was mistaken. No chairs around pool available even though pool was empty other then three guest. Every chair was saved with towels. The staff was very nice and felt so bad for our situation but the owner was arrogant and cocky with a smile.

This hotel is so convenient to the beach and within waking distance anything you could need is close by. The only thing I really didn't like was the bed and TV in our room. The beds are so soft and completely unforgettable. I felt like I was getting swolled and I woke up in pain. The TV in our room seemed to be old and fuzzy. The beds really need an update but otherwise it's such a nice hotel. Also the concierge was so nice and he really left a positive memorable impression.

The hotel was clean. The people were friendly. I didn't like the small appliances in our kitchen. the coffee pot was just a basic coffee pot no Keurig. The toaster was again just a basic toaster . The metal plate on the bottom didn't stay closed. There were no way to pop the toast up without waiting for it to pop and it was burnt. It was nice having a fridge in the room but it made a loud banging noise all the time. it did keep everything cold. We used the pool and hot tub a few times. We enjoyed them and they were clean . The people we met at the pool were friendly. We over all had a good time and look forward to going back again.

This is our second time returning and it was just as memorable as the first. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and rooftop hammock. The surrounding areas felt safe and we were able to relax right on the beach. Looking forward to our next trip.

We stayed in the Caicos room. Bedrooms were small. For instance, we had to walk sideways to squeeze between the bed and the dresser unit. The living area was fairly spacious. Kids really loved the pool and hot tub which stayed open till 10pm. There was a lot of space around the pool area for lounging and they have nice pool lounging chairs. We had a nice stay, no bothers. Rooms can use some updating. The sofa bed was one of the worst ever. The coils could be felt through the mattress. Room 230 has 3 balconies. One off the living area with view of ocean. One off the each bedroom. Back balcony faces town. I feel like the pool and hot tub are what draws people to stay and come back.
