The room needs a little TLC, it had some minor issues, but it was clean, the bed was comfortable, had a great view right on the water's edge, and the property manager was friendly and super responsive. Not sure how the crowds are normally, but last week (May) there were only 2 or 3 other people at the hotel so it felt like I had my own little private resort, with a great chill beach bar immediately next door (i think I ate my weight in fresh ceviche and fried plantains). This is a dead-end area so there's no pass-through traffic or herds of tourists which is nice, yet it is still very convenient to the Maho area, Mullet Bay, and the marinas along Welfare Rd where a lot of the boat charters dock.
