This stay provided exactly what my husband and I needed for our time here. It was nestled in the community and did not feel very touristy. Everyone we met was kind, especially when you greet them. It was walking distance from markets, malls, etc., including Pelican Shopping Mall, Port Zante, and Independence Square, and Basseterre Public Market. Not to mention the water right outside of the hotel and supermarket beneath the hotel for quick buys. The Colosseum is also walking distance from local vendors and restaurants. Great food, fruits and veggies, and drinks. Our wedding party was on the Southeast Peninsula in the Villas but we wanted to be by ourselves and still close to them. So again, perfect place. You can hear the nightlife, roosters, and cats and still get a great night's sleep. We only had one instance of water bugs in the restroom, but honestly did not bother us. Elsewhere people had issues with lizards and the monkeys, but we did not have this issue here. We would absolutely stay here in the future and highly recommend for anyone who wants less of the touristy experience while still being in close proximity to those places and spaces.

Stayed here during Carnival week and had a great experience. The hotel was very clean, and the staff were extremely helpful and attentive communication was on point the entire time. The owner was very accommodating, and Sharon was especially attentive, always checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. It’s a small boutique hotel with about eight rooms, which I loved. Perfect if you plan to be out and about and don’t need to spend much time inside
