The standard room I booked was tiny with a very small standard bed a a view of an empty lot. The bathroom felt as small as the bathroom on a 747! This was very disappointing at a rate of $500 per night in October.

One of the best hotels to stay at on the island!! I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s very clean, modern, and well kept. The staff is incredibly welcoming and reliable. Parker and Melissa were very accommodating and gave great recommendations for food and activity on the island. The view of the ocean on the third floor gathering area is real treat too with lots of space. Also the continental breakfast was good, plenty of food, coffee, and juice. They served free wine and cheese on Friday. I highly recommend staying here than some of the other hotels, this place is probably the best bang for the buck, especially since it’s so close to the beach.

The one thing that I would suggest is the property to have is a golf cart that can pick up there guests at the bottom of the road to the hotel. It’s a steep walk up to the hotel, especially for seniors.
