Emily, Jul 2019
Pros (+) Include onsite amenities like beach chairs and umbrellas, kayaks, and paddleboards. The marketplace, restaurants and pool bar were great bonuses as well.
Cons (-) Hotel rooms were extremely outdated and not well maintained - this is what prevents me from recommending to others and from staying there again.

Jeff, Apr 2018
Pros (+) Great place to stay. Quiet at night, but lots to do during the day. Beach is uncrowded (in late April anyway!), lots of chairs and umbrellas available. Nice pool. And zillions of brand new pickleball courts, if that's your thing. Close to other island attractions.
