Staff were wonderful. My room was large and airy, clean and well appointed (although a microwave in room would help given limited dining options in walking distance). Lots of pillows!

Classic go to

They renovated their rooms and have extremely comfy beds!!! It's a classic from Belize I highly recommend. The only thing is they dont have an elevator so be mindful of bags and stairs.

8/10 Very good

The,communication pre arrival was very good. One of the rooms larger more updated but both comfortable. Balacony seating nice to have. Lovely view of water. Toombad so many higher places being built but should be good view for next year or so. Appreciated the allowance of late check out to accommodate our excursion schedule.
Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a great little property! It’s clean and rooms are as advertised. The location is walkable to the oceanfront and several shops. They had security onsite as well. My only complaint is the breakfast for continental was very expensive per person and consisted of two pastry varieties, bread. One type of cereal and one bowl of fruit. Staff were friendly.
