We were on the Island for a 90th birthday and enjoyed the stay. Also the sunset from the front.
Pros:

A young lady (room cleaner) was very helpful when our key didn't work. She raced to the office to get another one.

We came to visit friend and were overall happy with our stay.
Pros:

location to the bistro and bar.

Cons:

The room is very bright as there is no curtain on the high window. In summer you would be woken by 4.30.

Overall a very convenient and pleasant stay with all the attached facilities
Pros:

The included Continental Breakfast was very satisfactory and a pleasant surprise. The bathroom was the largest we've ever encountered in a motel room, as was the general room size. Being attached to the hotel certainly made it easy for drinks and dining.

Cons:

Noisy people outside the room during the night.

Pros:

Near the beach

Cons:

Glass of basic red wine $25. Very expensive food and drink. If I was to stay here again, would eat elsewhere, and bring own wine.
