The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Amazing Culinary Experience

During my stay, I was pleasantly surprised by the dining options! The hotel menu offered a lovely range of dishes, and my first dinner there was exquisite. The highlight was a delicious three-course meal that included a refreshing mojito—it was all expertly prepared and felt extraordinary for such a reasonable price.

Comfort in Every Corner

I stayed in a Deluxe Double Room which was spacious and extremely comfortable. It had a peaceful vibe that allowed me to truly relax. The design wasn’t overly luxurious but was clean and just right for my getaway. I particularly appreciated the ample space to move around without feeling cramped.

Refreshing Shower Experience

The bathroom featured a nice shower with good hot water pressure, which was a delight after spending time outdoors. It was clean and well-maintained, which contributed to the overall comfort of my stay. I loved that it had an open window that let in natural light and fresh air.

Relaxing Spa Services

I enjoyed a complimentary upper body massage during my stay, which was relaxing and well-executed. Ms. Ina provided the service with a soothing touch that truly eased my tensions. I felt rejuvenated and ready to take on my adventures after that experience.

This hotel is a tranquil escape in Jamaica, perfect for anyone looking to relax by the pool or enjoy nearby boating adventures, though it may be a bit isolated from the bustling parts of town. The serene rooms offer beautiful views, but the air conditioning wasn't up to par. Service was friendly, while the dining experience was varied, but not all dishes hit the mark.
