Room was nice, staff was nice, great location, rooftop was awesome. Only drawback was the loudness of the constant golf carts driving by, however that applies to pretty much any where you stay on the island

It was a clean room & centrally located. The bed was very hard & the pillows very stiff. Small space but doable since only sleeping & bathing there.

I really enjoyed my stay at this property! Amber at reception sent me a message as soon as my room was ready so I was able to get in a bit early, which was greatly appreciated because I had just finished the Trans-Catalina Trail and was in desperate need of a shower. Amber also had great recommendations for restaurants. The property itself is clean and comfortable, and has a two-level roof deck with fantastic views. They also offered beach towels for guests. Overall I would recommend!
