I had an overall great experience at the resort, with two pools and a fantastic tiki bar that made it convenient for all my needs. The staff was always available and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. However, the price felt a bit steep for what we received, especially considering some cleanliness issues in our room. Nevertheless, it remains a solid choice for future visits with its close access to downtown and fun amenities.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was just okay. The location is quite nice, being close to town, but the breakfast selection was disappointing and the room had some issues. The pool and hot tub were decent, but the cleanliness left much to be desired. Given the pricing differences based on booking methods, it's definitely worth considering going direct next time.

Rooms

The room was average with two queen beds, but it lacked a bathtub and the sink in the bathroom felt loose. The overall cleanliness could have been better.

My experience at the hotel was quite frustrating. Initially, I was excited for a family getaway, but I ended up dealing with a booking nightmare that led to many hours on the phone without resolution. On top of that, when I arrived, I discovered that the room was flooded, and the management was unhelpful and dismissive. I can't recommend this place after what happened.

I had high hopes for our stay, especially being on the island for pirates weekend, but I was disappointed overall. The location is convenient, and the rooms were clean, but the amenities just didn't meet expectations. I encountered some significant issues during my stay that overshadowed the positives, like the noise issues and the minimal breakfast offerings. Given the price I paid for the weekend, I expected a better experience.
