5.0 Rating by Jessie K on February 24, 2005

This hotel was amazing. The food was the best food I have ever eaten on vacation. The hotel was clean and the service was absolutely wonderful. The hotel staff is extremely friendly, and they do their best to make your vacation one you'll never forget.

I plan on going back numerous times because I loved it!! The beach and pool were wonderful and we drank all vacation long! Highly reccomend this hotel... don't miss out on one of the best vacations you could ever have. Just the party scene at night is not big... but the islands beauty is all worth your while. Good family or couple vacation.
