Great lil place to stay. Not far walking from beach or any shopping place. The front counter lady was absolutely the sweetest and very helpful with information regarding island. Toilet ran all night but really no complaints cause room was cold. Grab snacks and drinks cause outside machines dont work but rooms have a fridge and microwave.
