We had a great stay. Our room overlooked a marina that we really enjoyed. We enjoyed walking around the whole island. That’s the hotel is on. I would go back tomorrow if I could the only thing that I really dislike that was the restaurant if you just need some appetizers it’s fine but their meals were terrible.
