We
first
visited
this
property
in
2014
for
a
day
trip
and
have
since
stayed
three
times
in
the
last
four
years.
The
hotel
is
situated
on
a
beautiful
beach
and
while
the
property
is
small,
the
ongoing
maintenance
and
care
taken
is
evident.
The
restaurant
and
bar
on
the
property
serves
great
food
(especially
the
breakfast)
and
was
very
accommodating
to
our
group
this
week
--
they
knew
our
names,
knew
who
wanted
to
run
a
tab
for
the
day,
provided
ample
ice
and
water,
and
even
brought
breadfruit
in
for
one
member
of
our
group
that
had
never
had
it.
The
staff
working
the
beach
(thanks
Kevin
and
Oneike!)
set
up
loungers
and
umbrellas
every
morning
for
our
large
group
and
would
come
and
chat
during
downtime.
The
staff
really
makes
this
place
stand
out
and
are
so
friendly
and
willing
to
just
chat
with
you
(if
you
want,
no
pressure)
that
interactions
feel
more
natural
and
human.
If
you
need
anything,
they
do
all
that
they
can
to
help.
I've
noticed
that
staff
seem
to
stay
with
them
long
term
as
well,
which
seems
like
a
good
sign
to
me.
The
rooms
are
clean
and
while
housekeeping
seems
to
be
a
bit
later
in
the
day,
they
were
great
about
replacing
towels
and
restocking
rooms.
The
standard
rooms
appear
to
have
been
recently
updated
and
I'm
hoping
they
so
the
same
for
the
studios
soon.
The
only
drawback
this
trip
is
that
our
room
(a
studio)
didn't
have
a
curtain
over
the
door,
which
meant
a
lot
of
light
got
in
the
room,
especially
after
sunrise.
If
we
hadn't
settled
in
already,
I
would
have
requested
to
be
moved
to
a
different
room.
If
you
need
to
use
the
safe,
you
may
need
to
request
a
key
depending
on
the
room,
but
that's
pretty
painless.
Check
in
and
out
are
also
a
breeze
--
they
even
modified
this
trip's
reservation,
despite
me
booking
through
a
vendor,
which
is
a
rarity
and
much
appreciated.
The
beach
is
very
clean
and
still
natural
enough
that
you'll
see
a
ton
of
sea
life
just
swimming
by,
as
well
as
birds
and
a
few
well
cared
for
cats.
We've
stayed
at
lots
of
resorts/hotels
in
Jamaica,
they
all
have
cats,
but
the
two
cats
on
this
property
actually
receive
vet
care
(they're
tagged
as
ferals,
iykyk)
and
food,
which
I
find
really
heartwarming.
There
are
vendors
on
the
beach,
but
they're
respectful
if
you
say
no,
especially
if
you
respect
that
they're
just
trying
to
make
a
living.
If
you
tell
them
to
come
back
later,
they
will
absolutely
come
back
later,
that's
on
you.
Some
of
the
local
fishermen
(including
the
ones
just
south
of
Boardwalk)
will
take
you
out
on
the
water
and
to
the
cay
you
can
see
from
the
beach.
The
only
drawback
for
us
is
that
things
die
down
once
the
bar
closes
at
9:30
or
10
(this
is
new
since
covid).
This
is
only
a
problem
if
you
like
to
stay
up
late
but
we
still
hung
out
on
the
beach.
Overall,
just
some
really
great
people
at
a
great
location.
I'm
really
happy
that
they
survived
the
dip
in
tourism
over
the
last
few
years
and
made
it
through.
