Beautiful salt water infinity pool, the view was fabulous. A great deal, the room and grounds could use some care, peeling paint, weeds, etc. the staff did not know about local weavers on the island. I tried to find them while I was there, but later on the plane found an article!! I would suggest tours of the local area through the front desk.

Great hotel .
"Hotel itself is excellent. Modern , clean & well looked after . The area is a little amongst the gritty end . We booked a harbour view room.but feel it was misleading as view was only 20% of the working port , 80% of surrounding neighbourhood and buildingimgs . So maybe don't pay for a view , IMO. ..."
