Another great stay at the best place on the island! We got our requested room (thank you Daniel) which is the one we’ve stayed in during our 10 stays at the property. We stay in back where it’s quiet and close to the parking garage. We love this place for its convenience to the beach, dining and shopping. Clean comfy rooms with a great rate-we’ve already made a reservation for October.
