9.4/10 Exceptional! (910 reviews)
The hotel was exceptional. The airport is the next island so plane noise was constant, but didn’t really bother us. The beach water is clear but not swimming depth Perfect for kayak because water is so calm.

  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
  • To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.
