10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is very nice and well maintained. My only comments (not complaints) are that we couldn't get our safe open, but the staff (Hector) was very helpful solving the problem; and I noticed the carpet needs cleaning in a few areas. The hotel and bistro staff are very friendly and helpful! The room was clean and the A/C worked great (which is needed in this heatwave!). We were in walking distance of everything; and we absolutely loved the island. . . lots of great restaurants and shops. We'll be back!!"
