Thank you!
I didn’t actually stay here, I booked this hotel for two young travelers who had an unexpected overnight stay due to a layover and I was worried about them because it was their first time checking into a hotel but the hotel was awesome at communicating with me assuring me the guests were well taken care of from the airport pickup to the room checkin, I’m so grateful for the Islander Hotel being so responsive and accommodating. The 20 year old guests said the hotel was nice and the staff was friendly.

Close to the airport and hence good for late flight arrivals. Big tasty meals for both breakfast and dinner. Beach bar in great location and well priced. Pool location with walk way over the pool limits it’s use somewhat.

2/10 Poor

Our arrival was a midnight and I already noticed the hotel. They said that they would pick us up at the airport, however nobody was not waiting for us. We had to walk down to the hotel with luggages, it is 2-3 mins walk ,however we did not feel comfortable to walk around an unfamiliar area in the dark. We arrived at the hotel by ourselves, no reception opened. a security came and took care of us, but it took a while until we could finally got our room. We wanted to know how to check-in in advance because we already noticed them about our midnight arrival. I had $150 meal credit, spa credit, show discount, however nobody honored these credits even the next morning. There was no official person at the reception desk in the morning to honor these credits. So we could not use all. Convenient location form the airport, however there are so many much better accommodations if you hire a taxi or rent a car.
