great central hotel
great location water restaurant excellent service
location WAS great. Shops and restaurant is within walking distance, it is true. I liked the restaurant ON the water. The prices for rooms was reasonable. It is true that all employess showed excellent customer service, and the front desk staff too.
the bar at the hotel closed VERY early. This happened every night, and was disappointing.

Don's Mai Tai Bar offers outdoor dining. The restaurant has a varied menu. I notice the bar is open for both lunch and dinner. Many guests ate there during sunset, it looked popular.

surprisingly charming stay!
central location accommodating staff quick fix upgraded room
The location was central. It allowed me to walk everywhere i wanted to go. i found the staff to be super accommodating, especially when i had a minor issue at check-in. they fixed it quickly and even upgraded my room. I appreciated that effort! the lagoon was awesome. I saw a sea turtle swim by.
the furniture seemed dated, and the lack of hooks in the bathroom was a slight inconvenience.

great location complimentary mai tais
The Don's Mai Tai Bar was very nice. I especially enjoyed the convenience of two complimentary Mai Tais upon check-in. The location is in the heart of shopping. Restaurants are within walking distance.
