The area is developing. This hotel is beautiful and the staff very nice. Only things to consider.... No hot water, parking space limited and that the beach sand is from volcanic rocks and it's so hot you can't stand on it.

The staff left our room door unlocked after they cleaned it. We told them at the deck and happened again the next day. Our room didn’t have hot water. But the newer rooms do. Just so you know when book. Also gave us one price for ride to Antigua but then changed more. Weak morning coffee. Bring your own. Just FYIs .Other wise it was a beautiful , relaxing place. Clean , nice staff great pools, great location. I would stay again. Beautiful rooms. We had air that was great!
