"My advice would be to request a room on the south elevation because you can watch the horses swim in the sea everyday 6 30 till 8 am(if your awake)."

Acceptable Location. Maintenance Issues

leaking shower poor upkeep

The location is convenient. Carlisle Bay is nearby.

The room I occupied showed poor upkeep. The shower leaked constantly except when water was off. The general state of the hotel fell short of four-star expectations. Front desk staff could exhibit better guest service.

The beach access was nice, and I found standard rooms. The staff gave me a little birthday treat. This was a nice gesture. I really appreciated it.

Upgrading to smart TVs in the rooms would be nice

beach location sea veranda stiff handle rust tub

I thought the location was excellent. It sits right on the beach. I also found the breakfast on the veranda to be lovely. It hung right over the sea.

The room looked outdated. I noticed the bathroom shower handle felt very stiff, and there was rust on the tub.
