Carlos, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Place was okay, bed was extremely uncomfortable I got barely any sleep. I was also charged $35 out of my incidentals for some reason without being given an explanation. While it was affordable for the reasons above I think next time we will stay at another place.
Joseph, 2-night trip

Carla, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great property to stay at. The beach is a 4 minute drive, Mexican restaurant and shaved ice shop right next to the property and shopping district in walking distance with golf cart rental businesses all around.
Ferdinand, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I had a long and event filled day at work and was running late to check in. Just as I crossed over to the island the most pleasant lady called to check on me and see if there was anything I needed further. She politely requested my updated eta which was 20 minutes. The motel and cottages are very brightly painted and well cared for. The Room smelled fresh and the AC was ice cold and comfortable. The room was very clean with no issues. Well worth staying at again and perhaps one of their cottages when our family visit again.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

No complaints, Myself and family been staying there as long as I can remember. Shark Reef is the best, and we always tell our friends about that place.

Other than the rooms could be cleaned better (couches and under beds) we had absolutely no complaints. Pool/spa very nice, nice play ground for kids. S
Kaitlyn, 2-night trip

We loved our stay here. Only thing we had a issue with was the wifi connection and the tv was constantly having to buffer. Rather then that we loved it.
