Bourbon Orleans Hotel
Enjoyed my time at the hotel. There was a problem with food that I had at the restaurant, but I couldn't address the problem cause they were closed when I checked out. However, the service by the staff was so exceptional, I decided to overlook the food problem.

Tropical Beach Resorts
Two swimming pools with one just built & beautifully landscaped. The beach is walkable & has lovely soft sand with sunbeds available. The room was spacious but would benefit from more utensils & dishes & some power sockets didn’t work. Overall very nice.
