Aston Islander on the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The staff here are incredibly warm, friendly, professional, and efficient! Though the hotel itself is a bit dated, the location and views are absolutely spectacular. And the property's quaintness is nostalgic and charming :) My fiancé and I stayed here and witnessed multiple incredible sunrises + sunsets, enjoyed the pool and ocean views, and were especially grateful for a generous room upgrade when the room we initially booked wasn't ready for us. It's also in an extremely convenient and walkable location! Highly recommend."

10/10 Excellent
""Better than advertised" would be an understatement! What an incredible property. We are so lucky to have been able to spend 10 nights here. Very comfortable for 4 people, but could easily accommodate 5. Centrally located on the island and very close to daily shopping, food, coffee, desserts! The property was very clean and had all the cooking tools, beach gear and towels. They have coolers, umbrellas, ice packs, tupperware and there is a common grill and recreation area (ping pong)."
