Great location - with a few improvements!

Overall, we enjoyed our 3 night stay! We had a town home, which had plenty of space for a family with two teenage boys to spread out in. The premises were spacious, felt semi-private and mostly quiet and kept clean. It was a great location for accessing anything on the island, which was the biggest draw. The basic amenities were in the kitchen (plates, glasses etc and dish soap - thank you!) and the Keurig coffee was stocked daily (yes!). But there was no drying rack for dishes nor kitchen towels and the pillows on the beds were not the softest. Also, there were a few items to be addressed such as the broken oven door and a sliding door that didn’t slide, that were not taken care of while we were there, but we used the stove top and microwave. If you wanted to have in person contact, best chance was during check in and check out times.

We had a nice time, but ran into quite a few issues that we did not find until after the office was closed. WiFi didn’t work, one of the main lights didn’t work, and the shower head was honestly disgusting. The shower was really tiny, so not fit for a larger person. Staff was nice it was unfortunate we didn’t run into the issues until later in the day. Unfortunately would not stay here again.

Ivan was easy to get hold of, communicative, helpful, knowledgeable. The view was very nice (room 109) we could mini-see the cruise ships and harbor. Room had a kitchen, bbq and patio outside. Feels like a friends vacation place, not perfect but comfortable. Only 2 annoyances- squeaky bed, door had to be kicked to enter.

We had an awesome time staying at your place. The little kitchen is equipped with all the essentials one needs for cooking. There is a grill outside too. The beds are very comfy. The area is very quiet and calm.

I really wanted to love this property, even with the extremely steep climb to get there with all of our luggage. The staff was very accommodating. But unfortunately, we booked a three bedroom suite and two of those three bedrooms had no power. The breaker continued to trip so there was no air or lighting on the top level. Expedia and the hotel have yet to refund any amount to us after that. I’m extremely disappointed in both Expedia and this hotel. Having no power, no air the middle of July and absolutely no refund is completely unacceptable by both Expedia and this hotel.

The place was great, staff was great. The price was pretty high so expectations were pretty high. My issue was the air conditioner in the rooms upstairs kept tripping the breaker, during the day staff helped and offered to send someone but i got it going and left, over night i didnt sleep at all it was hot in the room and the breaker would trip every 15 minutes after the breaker was reset. There was no windows to leave open only the sliding door, the mesh on the door was ripped so i didnt trust just leaving that door open. My kids were on the other room so i had to keep resetting the breaker. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
