I stayed in a cozy cabin with a kitchenette and a shared bathroom. The location was superb, right by the beach and close to the main area on the island for a few nights. The hotel offered excellent service with a welcome drink, tours/ticket assistance, and a delightful happy hour. However, the dining options were limited to just hot dogs, and the facilities were average.

I stayed in a cozy cabin with a kitchenette and a shared bathroom. The location was perfect, just a block away from the beach and the bustling boardwalk with all the restaurants. The service was exceptional, with a welcoming drink upon arrival and assistance in booking tours. The dining experience offered creative salads. However, the lack of private bathrooms in the cabin was a slight inconvenience, and the price was a bit high for the shared facilities.
