I was surprised how nice the room was. It was a good value. It seemed odd the lobby starts on the second floor after going up a set of stairs on the side of the building. It was a good quality room, a/c, nice furniture, nice bathroom with shampoo, body wash, plenty of towels etc. They were currently doing construction while I was there which was a bit noisy. Hopefully over by the time you read this. The neighborhood around is okay, looks a little sketch at night but fine. There is a really good restaurant at the Palm Courts Gardens about a 3/4 mile walk. Also great for lunch with nice views.

Liked: Cleanliness
I booked with this property because of the convenience to the port and shops, etc. plus because it's locally owned. However, when I booked I was not told construction was going to be taking place during my stay. I got there on a Thursday and it was constant noise from 7:15 am til early evening 24/7. I could not relax whatsoever, so I had to move to another guest house on the Monday for my remaining four days. I've reached out to Expedia and the owner about a refund, which to this day I have not been able to get a refund for the 4 days I could not stay there. If I had known they were having construction ongoing, I would not have booked there. Expedia should have been made aware of the construction so guests could know what they are up against. Therefore, their rules about booking and cancellation should be voided since I was not warned about the construction in advance. They need to do the right thing and refund me for the 4 days. I had to spend extra $$$ to go to another place. The noise was a big issue for me.

This hotel is really special. I felt at home and the location was really great if you are coming in from a dive boat, a cruise, or want to take the ferry to Nevis. It is ocean-front and there is a convenient grocery store on the first floor. It's easy to explore Port Zante, the fresh vegetable market, and Basseterre.
