This was our second time staying here and once again we enjoyed our two night stay. Our room was clean as well as the surrounding area. The hotel staff was very friendly. Pool area was nice along with the bar staff. If you are looking at taking an Uber anywhere on the island, it may or may not happen. But the island has a taxi service that the hotel can call for you. Will stay again.

The location was excellent and the grounds are very tropical. It is also located on a nice section of the beach. The rooms are a bit dated although well maintained.
