I read some bad reviews.... and I think those people are probably just snobs lol. This is a quirky, unique hotel that feels very "Key West"y. It isn't a 5 star hotel, it's old and cute but clean, funky, and an experience you won't get anywhere else. The vibe of the place is very islandy and different than any chain you'll find. I would definitely stay there again if I was looking for an experience and not just a room. Loved the tortoises, the hammocks everywhere, the natural beach, the trees, the colors, and the attached restaurant and neat pool.
