Quiet stay
Pros:

Location was easy to get to with ample parking. Lots of space in the unit with everything you need, including in the kitchen. Clean and perfect for my needs.

Cons:

I inquired at the time of booking to pay for a late check out. They told me to ask when I arrived. When I asked upon arrival and offered to pay, they told me to come back the next morning at 8am when the manager was in to ask. Manager did not arrive until after 9am and they would not accommodate the request. Was hoping there was a way to pay for additional time at first instance to avoid a situation like this as I was looking for an additional 2 hours at the property after check out.

Stunning views and wonderful restaurant but not worth an overnight stay
Pros:

The physical location was beautiful with stunning views, the adjacent restaurant The Gingerbread House definitely the star with incredibly warm staff, entertaining evenings and good food. Front office staff careless with billing and overcharged us over $400 which was resolved but caused stress during our holiday. The hotel was without water for a day, of which we were not notified due to clerical mistake which left us quite stressed as well.

Cons:

The air conditioning old and very noisy, rooms and hotel needs desperate updating. Beds and pillows horribly uncomfortable. Cleanliness not up to par.

Over priced and very old and dated
Pros:

It’s a pity to come all this way and stay in a hotel like this

Cons:

Over priced, very old. We were only staying for couple of nights on a stop over otherwise I would of been gutted if I came all this way to a Caribbean island to stay here, it’s like a old rundown freeway $50 motel

a me è piaciuto
Pros:

La posizione è eccezionale, un mare splendido, ma oltre all'hotel non c'è altro (io ho preso un'auto a noleggio e ho girato tutta l'isola che merita essere vista, hotel 3 stelle abbastanza vecchio ma pulito ha le camere grandi tutte vista mare
bisogna migliorare il bar e ristorantino molto scarso e caro colazione 20/25 dollari sono fuori di testa, al piano terra c'è un minimarket con un po di tutto quello che serve.
noi andavamo a mangiare all'hotel DIVI di fianco e si mangia molto meglio, e hanno il bar Amsterdam con caffe e briosce

Cons:

il bar/ristorante va rivisto molto vecchio anche come cibo

Mooi strand, ruime kamers
Pros:

Gelegen aan mooie baai met lekker strand. Ruime kamers met badkamers ensuite

Cons:

Is gedateerd, erg duur vooral als je alleen bent en bewaking deed soms moeilijk als er bezoek kwam
