Lonely Planet "In the heart of Bahama Village. The 10 small, brightly colored guest rooms aren’t too fancy, but it’s a happy, cozy bargain." Full review

Frommer's "Its 10 spotless (though admittedly petite) rooms are mood-lifters, too, with their bright colors and cool modern art...if you love to travel with your dog(s), these may be the best digs on the island" Full review
