They were warm and nice. The rooms were cute and cosy. Food was made by order. They would always ask if we wanted to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and asked what time we wanted it to be ready. They were very polite and helpful when we wanted to find out where town was and where we could go for swimming. When leaving the place we had to leave early due to the ferry, where the staff had packed a small breakfast for us to take with us on the ferry. All in all a good experience. ##### Sara Mirembe Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Monica Namara May 22, 2023 ##### Monica Namara Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels.d6057821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Kampala Serena Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kampala-Hotels-Kampala-Serena-Hotel.h2210670.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Premier Freeport Inn Calgary Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Best-Western-Premier-Freeport-Inn-Calgary-Airport.h4117450.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Prince Rupert](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-Rupert-Apartments.d4038-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Minot by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Minot-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Minot.h1661922.Hotel-Information) > > [Horseshoe Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Horseshoe-Las-Vegas.h7611.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunscape Coco Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Be-Live-Collection-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h975332.Hotel-Information) > > [Sword Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Bancroft-Hotels-Sword-Motor-Inn.h827.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Washington Heights](https://www.expedia.ca/Washington-Heights-New-York-Hotels.0-n171447-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Arizona](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Arizona-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d204-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Belize-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d18-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyc/vancouver-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Stony Rapids (YSF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/ysf/saskatoon-to-stony-rapids) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Helsinki (HEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/hel/vancouver-to-helsinki) > > [flights from bellingham intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/bli/flights-from-bellingham-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bom/yyz/mumbai-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yyj/abbotsford-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to New Orleans (MSY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/msy/vancouver-to-new-orleans) ### Cars ### Packages > [Ireland](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/84/Ireland) > > [Naples Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples.d6034774.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Bora Bora Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Bora-Bora.d602861.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### Vacation Rentals
