"We just stayed one night between island hopping . This delightful hotel in an older but beautifully maintained building is central on pedestrian only street . Dinner choices, shopping and groceries are all nearby . Live music entertained us on the lovely patio that looks over the street . You are about 10 min taxi ride from airport and cost is 1500 CVE (about 15€). For great coffee and ambiance including live music don’t miss Cafe Sophia."

"I was a little disappointed when I thought the room I booked had an ocean view and it did not. The building is nice, clean and staffs were friendly and courteous. Tiles on floor need to be replaced since some had cracks in them and some parts of the building can use some fresh paints. The Buffett breakfast was good."
