Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the spacious studio rooms featuring comfortable beds and amenities. The ocean views and balconies overlooking the pool area and bay are frequently mentioned highlights. Many enjoyed the convenience of the on-site restaurant, though a few noted that the kitchenettes could use updating. It's also a short walk from the ferry and main shops.

friendly staff direct access lovely location unclean bathroom dated hotel unwelcoming reception
The location was lovely overlooking the bay. It was an easy walk to the town center! The staff was very friendly and helpful . My room was spacious, a real plus, and it had a nice terrace with direct access to the pool.
The hotel seemed a bit dated, the reception area wasn't very cute, honestly. My room wasn't ready when I arrived late, disappointing. The bathroom cleanliness was lacking. I noticed hair on the floor!

bathroom mold faulty fan
The room felt quite outdated. i noticed the bathroom door had some significant water damage. also. the fan in the bathroom didn't work at all? there was even a bit of mold on the tiles! the water temperature in the shower fluctuated a lot. It went from hot to cold frequently. it wasn't the best experience. especially considering what i paid per night

Really good Hotel Stay

poolside unit open bar amazing views
I felt lucky to secure a poolside unit. The bar was conveniently open poolside, a great feature. The views were amazing. The pool and hot spa baths were beautiful.
The elevator felt a bit scary. I worried about getting stuck, a concern.

The location overlooked the bay. It was within walking distance to the town center. The hotel's proximity to the sandy beach was a plus though the main wharf was a bit of a walk.
