The Morgan Resort Spa Village
"The worst hotel, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. The rooms very cheap, I was giving dirty towels! The stuff are not friendly at all. The only thing that was good about this hotel was the pool area! Inside the hotel is definitely a 3 stars hotel."

Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa
"Perfect location. Beautiful ocean area. No seaweed. Lots to do right on site. Room was a big worn down and bathroom way too small. The room itself brought my review down, but the location and all the pools were great. Also, the employees were not very friendly."
