Beautiful family run hotel on a beautiful island. If you are fortunate enough to get a reservation you are in for a treat. You will meet the kindest people who will make sure your stay is an enjoyable one. The location has a view of the harbor, steps away from boats that deliver you to the beaches. Breakfast is provided daily. A real breakfast! Everything made fresh each morning. Fruit, yogurt, jelly, bread, cheese and meats, eggs, sweet deserts, and hot items. Perfect start to the day. I’m drooling as I write this. The rooms are comfortable, a good size, and cleaned daily. AC, hot water, WiFi. The only thing you’ll want is to extend your vacation.
