Stargazer Hotel

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the pool it was very clean and provided all the towels you will need at the pool. Also having the two bedrooms separated was great! Provided privacy for us. Also loved that we were able to check in without going to speak to someone we got everything through text and email. I will be returning here my next vacation!"
