great central hotel
great locationwater restaurantexcellent 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.
Dining

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!

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.
