Stayed here before, appreciated staff and location. The rooms with a tub, arm chairs, for instance. The place was walking distance to The Old Spaghetti Factory, where you can have dinner...

Staff was chearful, enviable location in a downstairs lounge area. The hotel was near the own beach. I went to an excellent restaurant and loved the Jamaican dishes. Hot drinks at swim-up bar, first-class service...
