Fair price for stay, but probably would not return.
Pros:

Beautiful scenery.

Cons:

The rooms are dated, especially the bathroom. The ventilation was terrible in the bathroom and left everything wet after showering. Also, this is a Christian retreat center, and that is not in the listing.

I love the location, and thought I loved the actual hotel, but now I am not so sure.
Pros:

Love the location and the fact that it is out of the hustle and bustle of the island. The price is decent, and the people are extremely friendly.

Cons:

This is the 2nd year I stayed there. The first year was awesome, but the following year was a bit terrible. The bed was just awful, but if you enjoy sleeping on top of springs, then you may enjoy it. Really, the only bad thing was the bed. The room had 2 queens that were back breaking. Im not sure if I will go back again next year.

Misleading, disappointing, uncomfortable.
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

There was no information regarding the fact that this property is in the middle of/ involved with the Methodist Church. The hotel is in the middle of a commune, and is a part of a church retreat space that was not explicitly stated anywhere on the booking site. Bed was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever been in, felt like it was a bunch of cardboards stacked ontop of one another and stuffed into a fitted sheet.
