We spoke to the gentleman who was renovating the rooms (even when he worked it was a quiet and peaceful place), and learned there will soon be a houseboat as a room to rent.

We stayed at this hotel several times. It is very nice, It’s nice that they have a separate area for adults.
They also have 3 in house places to eat, a tiki bar for lunch, a roof top for breakfast and bar in the evening and a restaurant for dinner (didn’t go to this one though).
They include free paddle boards and kayaks.
The rooms could have better A/C, they added another portable fan and seem to be having issues with A/C, hopefully will be resolved soon. Also they don’t have room service...
