8.4/10 Very Good! (624 reviews)
The rooms are exceptionally small. Don’t book a standard room if you have more than a backpack as there is nowhere in the room for a bag. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. But the window to the room is like a jail window and there is no room whatsoever.

The property was clean and not crowded because there are only 40 units. Staff was very friendly. We used the free bikes, and beach chairs with umbrellas. A free trolly runs by this property every 20 minutes to take you around the island and to restaurants.
