“perfect location for intro to this island”

Dec 29, 2025susan s

Great hotel on the sound with a view of the Harbor - heated pool - excellent buffet style breakfast. A bit pricey for one night, but it was a Saturday before Christmas. Had we gone a day or two earlier we would have had a senior special almost half the price. Nice perks when you check in - we got a late check out and two free drinks - healthy pour for wine. Very friendly staff - clean- Live music by the pool during the day - would prefer reading quiet... Don't miss sunset by the beach or the beach across the bridge. Outstanding.

“Wonderful staff, clean hotel”

Nov 27, 2025shermainea2019

I highly recommend this hotel. It’s clean, the staff is very friendly, and although the breakfast is just average, everything else truly makes it worth it. We had a minor elevator issue with my parents, but the team responded immediately. I’d definitely stay here again.

“A little gem”

Nov 03, 2025Hannah G

The kids and I loved staying at this hotel and didn't want to leave. The highlight of the hotel really is the beautiful pool area right next to a Tiki bar / restaurant. You really feel like you are on holiday here. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable with all the amenities and space you would need. A minor suggestions for improvement but only minor. At breakfast there was a lot of things that kept running out without being timely replenished. Fab stay thank you!
