I’d stay here again. The rooms were very well appointed and very clean. Loved the balcony overlooking the water! The bed was a bit soft for my tastes and they had a problem with the bottom sheet not fitting the mattress but that was a minor problem. Right next to the boat tour dock and within walking distance to everything!!!!

First impressions, carpet outside on way to room was very dirty. Our room was full of little bugs, as was the terrace. I had to ask for tissues and toilet paper. However, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful. The pool was very cold and they had some issues with it because it didnt open on time. We did however have a wonderful time.
