We enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect for family activities. Pirate boat, public market, art galleries, etc. All are fun and enjoyable! We also played an outdoor game here called Captain's Puzzle Path that led us through all the hidden gems of this island. Wonderful!

This Hotel couldn’t be in a better location. With being able to sit in the restaurant or look out your rooms window Gazing upon beautiful boats in the harbour as well as the Science Centre off in a distance. The staff were so kind and considerate. I recommend this amazing hotel for the staff view and accommodations.

This is my third stay at this hotel. The staff are incredible, accommodating and attentive. Our superior room was a bit too small for a family of four but the location is not to be beat. I really appreciated how accessible the staff and manager were. It’s also very quiet! I recommend this hotel!!
