I gave this 4 stars because the restaurant menu is only Caribbean food, which we didn’t care for. Our hotel room was clean and roomy, the staff was wonderful.

I liked the clean room and carpet less floors, although the double shower heads were a bit weird. The staff was nice and helpful. I do wish you could get a room with a bathtub or an actual suite with a separate bedroom. That said the location is great and views very nice on the lakeside. Price was reasonable, too. Lots of stuff in walking distance, another bonus.
