10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for 1 night before heading to the North side. The hotel was comfortable and walkable distance to restaurants and down to the beach. The AC was nice to have for our August weather. The person at the front desk was very friendly and provided a list of hiking trails across the island which we appreciated! Also had complimentary bikes and beach equipment. We did not use the pool due to being closed for maintenance but we didn't mind as we spent the day exploring. Great breakfast across the street at Kountry Kitchen. Have seen some comments about roosters- FYI- they are EVERYWHERE on the island from the hotels to the Walmart parking lots lol we had them at all 3 of the properties we stayed at so it's just something to accept across the island, not a fault of any of the accommodations honestly"
