There was ocean view from the balcony. The touch lighted mirror is cute. Some rooms still have dilapidated furniture not suitable to sleep on or use. Toilet paper and hand sanitizer was given upon request and not before. Linen was dingy white with stains. It was hard to tell if towels were clean or just very old and dingy.Bathroom floor needs renovation.

I really enjoyed my stay. I have read the other reviews which say odd things given that this is a hotel in a tropical region which just had a hurricane. The hotel was exactly what you would expect for a relaxed tropical experience. If you are looking for a resort that is antiseptic without any of the local flair then go there. This hotel was very safe, and they constantly checked to see if I was happy and if I needed anything at all. With the wifi being down on most of the island they had a backup wifi for anyone who needed it. I will absolutely stay here again. This was exactly the vibe I was looking for and the views were spectacular, the AC strong, the beds comfortable, the staff kind and welcoming, the sounds of the nature better than any white noise to put you to sleep. Ignore the reviews that were clearly looking for something other than a local hotel in the tropics. Walk 5 minutes to the street just above the hotel and have a delicious dinner at peppas with ocean views.

My best

Let's start with the greeting. Don't want to mention that the airlines lost my luggage but it is what it is. Chris and Face helped me to obtain clothes and toiletries due to the fact i had nothing. They made me feel safe and comfortable. The rating chart is too low if i could i wold give them 10 stars. This nice quiet family owned resort is kind and compassionate They make you feel like you're apart of their family. Thabk you for you kindness.

Budget motel for sleeping only

Check in was smooth and they provided options of available rooms to choose from. The place was very run down but the view was nice and there was a pac man machine in the room which my 8 year old liked. There was no fridge, no microwave, no kettle or coffee pot, no bottled water in the room or at the front desk, and soap provided was labeled as laundry soap. The only part of the room that appeared clean were the sheets thankfully.

For someone traveling on my own, it was a great place to stay that was affordable while being very close in between downtown and the sangster airport. It would be a better rating if the loud music was turned off. Only reason Im saying this is if a family with children would ever arrive. Other than that good place.

This has been my worse experience ever and I have been traveling for at least 30 years all over the world. The hotel was dirty. We never received clean linen. The furniture was broken. The bathroom leaked and had broken tiles. There was no dining services, not even coffee. There was a party under our room for 8 hrs. It didnt stop until 4am, after police intervention. There was nothing to recommend it except for the exceptional view and central location.
