Ideal if you’re looking for a safe, quiet and spotlessly clean place to stay. No pool and no complimentary bath robe that I never use anyway! Not a luxury property but it was a welcoming and relaxing feel about it. The location is also very good - close to things but also quietly tucked away. I would definitely return. Oh …., I nearly forgot to mention the full Jamaican breakfast. The best I have ever had!!
