This property was absolutely beautiful, the room was incredibly clean, and everything was perfect. The whole experience was relaxing and the prefect setup for a work trip.
I loved staying here and will 100% do it again.
The coffee shop/restaurant that is in the same building is delightful.
I had to extend my stay for a night and since the room wasn't booked all it took was a simple email.
Can't recommend this place enough!!!
The room was very clean, decorated beautifully, and had great walkability. The bed was very comfy and had all the things you might need like kitchen and bathroom items. We wished we could stay longer!

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful island
Beautiful place! Love the interior and the clean huge bathroom with nice washer and dryer. They even had detergent for us. We walked a few blocks to the beach and the neighbors houses were also very pretty too. Nice hotel we would definitely stay there again if we visit the island in the future!
