It’s an older property but well maintained. More of an inn or motel. Quaint. Small. Check in and check out are very easy and quick. Only ceiling fans but it was all right. We stayed only one night so didn’t get to hang out on the property very much. Ear plugs in the medicine cabinet to counter coqui frog noise.

Staff was wonderful, charming little hotel. Banana bread, coffee and fruit for breakfast was great! Loved having a kitchen. Allowed us to use the towels even after our check out so we could go to the beach and drop them off on our way to the airport.

This is the cutest little hotel! It’s like staying with friends or family. The staff is SO nice and the grounds are beautiful. Very well maintained and clean despite being retro. Loved the hot coffee and banana bread each morning and even enjoyed Obie the cat coming in to stay with us one night.

Liked: Staff & service
Loved the garden and staff were friendly. Banana bread was good. Expedia did not make a distinction between rooms with and without a balcony. We wanted a balcony and the lady we very helpful in checking and letting us know that there was one available for an additional 20-30 per nigh. We agreed but was actually charged 40 per night. This was not what we originally agreed and seemed mean - especially considering the room was not booked. The balcony made the room and the original room we were allocated seemed dark and confined. As the property has several internet addresses it was difficult to find the one allocated and the correct password. The office closed at 7 so there was no one to ask. There was supposed to be instructions in our room but these were missing and we realized this too late. There were limited power points and as we had forgotten our power strip this meant we had to scatter our devices through the room. Again the office was closed at 7pm so we could not ask for a power strip. Would be great if the lamps could be updated to have power points USB connections and if new power points were added each side of the bed.

Loved this place - super friendly staff, fresh banana bread in the AM, and fresh papaya too. We had the family suite, and found it to be very comfy. Wish we could have stayed longer than one night.

Liked: Cleanliness
rooms are clean and they do provide banana bread, hot coffee/ chocolate and papayas in the morning which definitely is plus. There is no AC installed, only fans are in the room. Also, the walls are paper thin you could hear frogs singing over night. They do provide earplugs if you needed.
