| The staff couldn't have been more accommodating which includes the employees at the front desk, dining room and the porters. We had a problem with the air conditioning in our room and they sent someone to move us and upgraded our room. I would go back tomorrow if I could.

| The hotel is still fixing up from past storms, but the location is close to shopping and dining and the marina is a good back drop. There are much nicer beaches outside the hotel beach.

| Lovely hotel in a great setting. Located right on the Sea of Abaco but within walking distance (2 blocks) of town. Beach is wonderful. Free use of sunfish, windsurfers and kayaks. Motor boat rentals available on property as well as scuba dive trips. The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel staff very friendly. The grounds were not maintained as well as they could be but still a very nice hotel. The food in the Angler restaurant was very good.

| We opted for the superior room and it was quite spacious with a balcony looking out to the Abaco Sea. Front desk clerks were all helpful and friendly, but don't plan on being able to check in until the 3:00PM check in time.
