This is a quaint pretty hotel that yes - has a lot of potential. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Yes, there was not a phone in the room however the office staff was available and quick to assist. Thanksgiving Day we ate breakfast on the beach and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of food. We were definitely not disappointed! The drinks were on point as well. Marilyn was able to book us a last minute snorkeling tour that day which was amazing. That evening we had Thanksgiving dinner at the on site restaurant.
Like stated before, this property has a lot of potential. There are renovations being done to the dive shop and bar both located on the pier. Adding jet ski rentals would be great. The pier also has a great location for a wedding ceremony. ✔ Definitely considering this hotel as our wedding site.
Some things to consider while staying at this resort:
Expect a local atmosphere. This is not like other "cookie cutter" tropical resorts. You will come in contact with locals, ex pats and transplants who are happy to share their love for this beautiful island. Yes, there was karaoke which was fun.
Expect mosquitoes. Management does a good job with trying to spray at least twice daily however let's face it, you're in the Caribbean. Mosquitoes are the norm. Pack plenty if insect repellent. Purchase insect spray from the nearby store and spray your room prior to leaving out for the day. You can also purchase insect repellent coils. Light them and place on your porch or patio to keep those winged vampires at bay.
Expect delays when ordering food. Relax, kick back with a fruity adult beverage and remember you're on island time and on vacation for a reason. Enjoy it!
Yes, we will definitely be back!
