I liked the property. I liked that I did not need to interact with anyone. The Caribbean restaurant down the street was excellent. There is a bar/night club on the property and my neighbors were noisy which was not what i needed after driving. Not the properties fault.

All communication done via email and text message, never saw or spoke with any staff member. The room was nicely remodeled, the bed was super comfy but soooo high. Would stay again.

I love the Starlight! Stumbled on this place as it was convenient to where I store my boat and happy I did! It's like a time warp...very retro. Looks like it would have in the early 60s. Has a cool lounge with some great music most nights.
