This was a nice suite for a small island. However the view out back was awful. Old tires and broken down vehicles. The pool was nice and the staff was great. The room was clean and well supplied.

Poolside is much nicer than office side, but if you are looking for just a basic room the office side is fine. There is an on property breakfast restaurant and many other restaurants and shopping nearby. Golf carts and bicycles are available for rent.
