Last year we stayed in a nicer room near the water. This year the building was just too old. Tiny weird bathroom…and just not great. The staff is really nice though. Breakfast was decent. Tiki bar food was really good. Super cute gift/dive shop by the water.

There is no water view. It said on the website that there was fishing....it was a fish charter. (They need to change that) They gave us an handicap room...which I didn't reserve. It 30 mins to check in. If you want a place to sleep or to go on a a charter, this is your place. If you like to fish and enjoy the water, I would look else where. The good point about this room is it was clean,updated and a good breakfast. It's just I wanted more.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were great. Room was okay. Beds are not of very stout construction. The legs in the middle would bend out when we merely sat on them - and the bed would slide. We didn't do anything "aggressive" on the beds :) ... The floor in the room was not very clean - as our bare feet showed (we take our shoes off inside the door by habit). Otherwise - I'd call it average - and an okay value.
