I've been coming here for years, and I always look forward to my stays at the Island Motor Inn. The views from the balcony are simply stunning, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. However, during my last visit, the service was a bit hit or miss; while some staff were attentive, others seemed overwhelmed. Overall, though, I highly recommend this place for its beauty and spacious rooms, but just be prepared for some inconsistency in service during busier times.

Our stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! It’s perfectly situated near the main attractions yet far enough to enjoy a peaceful retreat. The views from the room were stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset, and I loved being able to enjoy my morning coffee on the balcony. The rooms were spacious and clean, making for a comfortable stay. However, I did notice that some furniture was slightly dated, which took away from the overall modern feel.
