Guests can dine at Steelpan, a Caribbean-American fusion restaurant serving breakfast, weekend brunch, and happy hour with ocean views.

My stay was quite enjoyable overall! The hotel is conveniently located, providing beautiful views, and I really appreciated the quick assistance from the staff when I had an issue. However, my room had a persistent smell due to plumbing problems, which was unfortunate. The dining experience was excellent, especially with the tasty vegan burger at the restaurant.
