The Islander was okay for our short stay, but would not consider for a whole week. Too small, cramped parking, dated decor.

The property was found as advertised. The only hiccup was the elevator stopped working for a few hours and the haul up the stairs is difficult for elderly folks.

We had a great experience at this hotel. Booking was easy; checking in, even easier. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a nice ocean view with two queen beds and it was perfect. The scenery is stunning with direct access to the beach right from the back of the hotel and pool area. The continental breakfast offered wonderful options including juices, coffee, tea, milk, pastries, yogurt, fruit cups, bagels with waffle makers. The one suggestion I have is that without offering umbrellas and/or lounge chairs for the beach, it would have been better had we known to reserve one prior to arriving. Without access to available umbrellas or lounge chairs, it definitely cut our time from enjoying the beach as we also had our three year old with us. Staff were extremely friendly! We would definitely book here again!

Nice place to stay

We were only there for two days, but the room was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. Unlike some other places, the walk to the beach was short and easy. It did say on the website that there was a bar by the pool, and we saw the building, but it was not open while we were there. Just would have been nice to have notice it was not available. But, that is not going to keep us from coming back since I have already booked for a weekend in August.
