A great location for the price
The price needs to be considered when reviewing this hotel since the price is reasonable for the location. Yes, it is dated and a bit run down, but the apparently new owners are working on the place. The location is perfect, especially if you don’t want to rent a car, since the beach is beautiful and clean and all the amenities of town are a few quick ferry-ride minutes away. The beach bar is nice and the hotel staff were all friendly and accommodating. We hope they continue to upgrade and we hope to see great progress in the future.

I heard the property was in repair before I arrived but I didn't think the water fountain would be empty and the railings would feel like you will tumble over the side. It's old but not too bad for the price. Hopefully one day it can get back to it's glory.

Balcony railing was completely rusted and unsafe to even touch.
Everything else was satisfactory. If you need peace and quiet, this hotel is the place to be.
The food was delicious. Best darn burger I ever ate, but you better order before 5-5:30pm closing time or else you’ll have to ferry to the island for food… island life 😁
I would visit again, thanks.

Whole trip was ruined due to an outbreak at the ho
Complete waste of trip. I got sick due to an exposure of legionnaires disease which the hotel was aware of a month in advance but still accepted guest here (discovered two days after feeling sick the hotel had an outbreak and was force to close - learn this from a local that confirm w/ a news article published in the st
Criox VI fb group ) .While some of the staff were friendly, the majority of the employees & mgt were nonchalantly and didn't offer any medical support or attention. Completely negligent and inconsiderate of the guest welfare .

The view from the room was the best part, waking up and hearing the water was mesmerizing. This place could use some updating but the accommodations were doable for 1 night.
