Top Butterfly Beach Hotel Reviews

The Inn at East Beach

8/10 Good

"This was a convenient and lovely place to stay. The staff were super kind and helpful too. The reasons for the 4 out of 5 star rating are: ~ There were dirty finger prints on the light switch and door jam & frame. ~ Be sure to ask for a room AWAY from outside sitting areas. They provide nice outside patio areas, but if your room is right next to one, you may have people talking outside your room at all hours, morning and night. (There is no air conditioning, but we were comfortable with fans and open windows...unfortunately, we had to close the window due to the loud talking. =("
