Beautiful, clean and well appointed room. Ken at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The resort took a beating from the hurricane in 2022 and they are slowly recovering, glad to be able to stay there and help them out. We will be back!

Really nice, updated, and clean room with a screened waterfront balcony in a perfect place on the island (far enough away from the big resorts to be in a quieter area, but close enough to the center area of the island to be convenient).
