For years this was a great hotel for the money...not anymore. The hotelrooms are fine, same as they have always been, not fancy but certainly clean and functional in a great location. We like typical caribbean hotels, not fancy high rise, marble and chandalier no where around and we love that. The staff are wonderful, some old times like us... More

The bar staff were the friendliest. Always thought Caribbean's were happy, smiley people, not so, they all look stressed out. Always greet you though. Men are friendlier with a... More

Exactly the same size as the standard, only nicer furniture, tiled bath, central A/C. Don't know how much the upgrade would have cost, but our location was... More

We were made to feel welcome as soon as we stepped into the reception.The rooms are not luxurious, but they have what you need. The air conditioning worked well. Our room was meticulously cleaned every day,and the entire resort was kept very... More
