Romántico , limpio , bonito , muy especial este lugar
Pros:

Espectácular el lugar

Cons:

Lo primero ! La comunicación con la recepción imposible , no hay quien atienda el teléfono . Intentamos unas 100 veces . Y ellos están a 1 milla de distancia … osea que complejo eso . Y la
Puerta de la habitación tiene una ventana que entra demasiada luz en la noche , hay que buscar con que taparla . De resto todo 5 estrellas

Island Paradise at reasonable prices
Pros:

Small 8 room property with large clean suites, pool and private parking. Easy walking distance to coffee shops, breakfast and dinner restaurants and 3 blocks to the beach. On the Trolley route so you can safely eat and drink around the Island without the need for a car

Cons:

Small inconvenience to check in at another property, even after full registration and keyless locks.

Cons:

Liked it all

It exceeded expectations, especially for the price. Great find!!
Pros:

The accommodations were just wonderful from the comfortable quality bedding, chic beachy-style decor and lush toiletries provided. It had a smaller private pool right outside the room. And only a short distance from a beautiful white sand beach at sunset!

Cons:
