I had a great experience at this hotel! The facilities were excellent, and the complimentary valet service was a huge bonus. The premises were very clean and well-maintained, and the staff was consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Another major plus was the location there were several stores within walking distance, which made it super convenient. We were also able to easily drive to all of our tours, as the hotel was centrally located to the main attractions we wanted to visit. Overall, it made our trip smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again!

No complaints here!

The rooms were spacious and clean. Housekeeping came daily to switch out towels, stock coffee, empty garbage, and make beds, if needed. The rooms are equipped with a fridge, keurig coffee maker, a safe and ample storage (closet area, 3 drawer dresser, desk/vanity, open area at end of bed for suitcases, shoes, etc).

The Good. Location on the island, Lave Beach Club, Beach, Pools. The Bad. If there is a line at the check in desk, You Will WAIT. The front desk does not function well when there is a line. The front desk staff can also be snippy and unconcerned at this. The front desk also handles towels and bikes. So, if you would like fresh beach towels and there are a bunch of people checking in, you Will WAIT to get new ones. Twice the room was not serviced. We then had to call every day to remind them to service our room. Front desk staff couldn’t bring themselves to say Thank You for staying there upon checkout. If the hotel could fix the front desk issues, it would be a very good hotel.
