Love the place close to the beach and restaurants..very clean ..the only thing is if a family with kids go they should be in the downstairs rooms cause you could hear them running around making too much noise and you can’t sleep.

Best bang for your buck i've found on the island. decent location, with two bars across the street and a fine access point within walking distance. pool, fridge, and microwave complete the package. I wish parking was included, but comparing price, even adding it on put me way under other options. it's in a good location, family friendly, and definitely worth considering. have stayed there twice already, and it's first on the list for future visits for sure!

Plain, but exceptionally clean property. My only real complaint is that you have to pay extra for parking, but are not made aware of it until you arrive for check-in. I don’t recall exactly how much the parking is, but probably budget an additional $15-$20 per night over and above the room charge.

Good clean rooms, daily parking cost is alittle high
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel is new. The rooms are clean and fairly big, the price was great, the front-desk staff is friendly and helpful, there's a convenience store across the street, and the beach is only about a 5-minute walk. A few downsides that hopefully they'll fix up: The bathroom has no hooks for towels, the bar for hangers has no hangers, the TV is via Roku w/o instructions, the room door's outer handle sticks in the open position so it doesn't lock unless you push the handle up. Hopefully, they'll work out these little details and be even better the next time.
