Village Cay Hotel and Marina
The room was big. Our stay was very short so I can’t comment on the amenities but it was walking distance to the port which was our priority. Staff was very helpful! We would come back for a longer stay.

Sebastian's on the Beach
Room was clean and cozy. The front staff were great we were very late due to a delayed flight and they waited for us to arrive so we could get to our room. Restaurant is across the street, really only option of you don’t have a vehicle.
