We’ve stayed in the main hotel and loved it. The cottages are cute and we wanted to try them out but they are very small and close quarters. We will stay here again but in the main hotel.
The staff is awesome, accommodating and super friendly always!!

Great little spot
Service from the front desk was awesome. The beds were comfortable and clean. The refrigerator was awesome TV and cable worked well and shower was nice and hot. The floor in the bathroom against the wall was dirty and I walked barefoot inside and my feet were dirty by the end of the night. Other than that, it was fantastic and I’d stay there again.

The staff is very friendly and the price is among the lowest we could find there. Other than that is a below average hotel, not even a place for hanging clothes in our room.

The place was very DIRTY, from public place to the rooms. The room did not have any daily cleaning or at all on our 3 night stay.
It was very run down.
Very disappointed
The staff was friendly and bed was comfortable.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. It wasn’t a luxury property, but we were only there to sleep. Convenient to walk around town to all the shops and restaurants, as well as the beach club for kayak rentals and snorkeling in front of the Casino theater. I would definitely book again!
