Pros: Overlooking the beach. We had a pretty nice view for a decent price. There’s breakfast but it’s just cereal, muffins, apples .. can’t complain since it’s free but wish there were more options.
Cons: AC wasn’t blowing cold at all. Checked into a very warm room. Outdated bathroom. Walk-up building only. Uncovered parking.
FYI: Very low ceiling / ceiling fan so taller people have to be careful. Our friend whacked his hand pretty hard on it just stretching lol.
Very nice location which is walking distance to good reasonable food. Property is very outdated. Not sure why they are called a “resort”. I think it is a stretch in able to ask for the resort fee. Nothing fancy here. If your goal is just to sleep for the night, then it is fine. But if you are after going to the beach, then you are in the wrong place. The beach here is not where you can swim. It is just for the view.
I like the property it’s close to a beach and nice views and if you want, you could just swim in the pool. Too bad there wasn’t a jacuzzi, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. The room was okay, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The restaurant on premises was great! The hotel was close to shopping and places to eat. All in all, it was a great place to stay!
Overall a positive experience! Comfortable room with beautiful ocean view. Plenty of space for two people, comfortable bed, and we had everything we needed. The area is a bit more commercial but that does come with the convenience of grocery stores and tons of restaurant options.
Only downsides were that we were unable to drop off our luggage early and there was somewhat of a mildew smell and mold in the bathroom. Unfortunately this is fairly common is ocean side hotels so not a deal breaker.
Musty smell in the room. Pillow case smelled as if it wasn't changed. Pictures of the place deceivingly look good. But nothing like it in person. The place looks old. But have to admit price is good, and a good location as a base to visit the north, south and west.
The staff were very friendly and very accommodating to make our stay enjoyable. Our room was quite comfortable with a kitchen and separate bedroom although there were a few areas needing minor repair and painting.

Older establishment but very clean, great view and good restaurant nearby. Only couple of blocks from coconut market. Gave you privacy only tidied your room upon request. Affordable.
Staff is extremely friendly & knowledgeable one AC did not work & second room. AC was adequate, but could’ve been a little colder. property was in good shape
Had a lot of amenities like a nice grab and go breakfast as well as bikes you could rent out. They also did morning yoga and had a great pool.

Location good hotel very average
Somewhat remodeled hotel, not a resort. Do not bring your kids no beach and beach swimming. Located on water but unable to swim due to rocks and break. AC needs upgrade and was there for three days and was offered no housekeeping service. Was handed towels and they never came to room to ask if I needed service. Very very poorly done. For the price I would look at other options.

The property is just old and the rooms are very small for two non married people even though they had two beds. They try hard to keep it clean but remodeling is necessary.
All in all it was a good stay
The breakfast could use a few more selections and a coffee pot. The amenities were unique and nice! The bikes, morning yoga as well as the pool were nice to have! As well as the unique welcoming gifts. The cleanliness of the room was just okay. Noticed lots of dirt that was just missed as well as the room smelled of mildew.
The ISO is a great affordable option to some of the other overblown resorts in the area. Rooms are clean and comfortable, staff is helpful, and the hotel is conveniently located close to some great restaurants and island excursions. While it may not have the bells and whistles of nearby options, it has a pool, a great continental breakfast, and EVERY room is ocean-view.
