8/10 Very good

T treated my family to a short weekend stay at the Kay and it was lovely. The beach was beautiful and the bar alive with guest. The room was spacious enough to enjoy the beach weekend and had the basic essentials for our short stay. However, the old-empty water fountain & pool outside were eye sores, obstructing out view of the beach. But overall the beach was beautiful and for a short family stay the price was not too bad.

Best view than any other hotel on the beach!

This hotel doesn't offer anything complimentary other than a beach chair (I also got a free umbrella due to my week stay. Not sure if it was a special deal). My second time staying here. I picked it because its on the BEAUTIFUL Protestant Cay. Theres a great beach bar and grill. I will say I'm disappointed with the cleanliness. Dust and debris in 2 rooms before I got to the 3rd room that I ended up staying in. Disgusting dusty wicker chairs. Such a shame. They are doing construction which attributes to the dust and dirt. The King Christian hotel seems much nicer ans ypu still have the same access to everutbing on the strip amd to the beach.

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.

6/10 Good

We were not notified that the pool was not operating. The entire outside of property is run down. There is no elevator and no one to help with bags. We were on the 3rd floor. Our balcony door did not shut properly and rattled loudly in the wind. The room was spacious, clean, good shower. Beach and beach bar are spectacular. The quick water taxi was easy to navigate.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

This property is accessed via a boat taxi. The hotel is in disrepair from the last hurricane. The price is right but be prepared for the boat taxi, limited dining, poor accessibility, and rooms clean but in poor condition.
