Loved this place. Quaint and quiet and decor was lovely. We had a first floor room with a balcony with palm trees growing around it and overlooking the pool. Morning coffee in the shaded courtyard was lovely and a nice continental style breakfast selection. Staff we also lovely and welcoming. Just a lovely, laid back, relaxing place to stay. Pretty central on the island and only a 20 minute walk to the lively Duval street. Would 100% be happy to return to this place if we ever go back.
