8.8/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)

This apartment complex has a great location on the east of the island right on the beach. The beach is not recommended for swimming due to waves, currents and rocks. Many restaurants around to choose from. No breakfast restaurants on the property and the only restaurant they have is not open every day. The studio had worn out king size mattress, where the body sank in without spinal support. The shower didn’t stay up well and needed to be adjusted throughout the entire length of shower. No full size mirror and only 1 mirror in the bathroom that sweats when the shower is taken. It is not a hotel, so no cleaning/garbage emptying/towels. Swimming pool area appeared nice. They had many kids in that area. The gym had plenty of equipment for us to use. The toilet had black mildew and the room smelled.

9/10 Wonderful! (29 reviews)

One night stay at this place for our backpacking trip. Love the location and cleanliness. Didn’t have much daylight left by the time we settle down for the night. Took a little stroll to take a glimpse of what’s left of the sunset. It sure was beautiful.
