Would definitely stay again!
Although it is what seems to be an older hotel, the whole room was remodeled and refurbished, as was most of the lobby and they are currently redoing the restaurant while I stayed there. Would definitely stay there again!!

It's newly renovated, lobby looks very nice, price is very affordable for the location. We chose the 2 full beds for our family of 4, the room was small, bathroom was small but it was just for one night we didn't mind it. Definitely will pick a bigger room/beds for longer stay. Easy access to the beach/playground/pool, and we love that they provided beach chairs. Restaurant was under renovation, so we had to drive 15-20 mins to the nearest open restaurant. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and will come back again.

We liked it and would go back.
Great oceanfront location, but in a remote part of the island with little to nothing else within walking distance.
Rooms: Ceramic flooring throughout. Simple, old tv. Super low flow shower that was frustrating.
Nearby activities
The beach, pool, on site bar & restaurant are the only nearby things to do. But the restaurant and bar weren't open for the season when we were there in April.
Great views of the ocean!
