The room was perfect for a quick quiet escape but was amazed that kitchen utensils and stove was in the room. Room was clean and comfortable. Pool looked amazing but i didnt have time to use it. Staff were beyond friendly and easy going. They knew the island well and were eager to give reccomendations and support where they could!
