This hotel truly felt like a home away from home. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, and the atmosphere was friendly and comfortable. While the rooms were not top-tier luxury, they were clean and had everything I needed. Dining options at the on-site restaurant were delightful, but I would have loved to see a bit more variety. Despite a few minor hiccups with room upgrades, the stay was overall a fantastic experience.

Staying at the Bell Channel Inn was a delightful experience. The location was perfect, just a short walk to both the marketplace and the beach. The rooms were charming and clean, offering lovely views of the marina. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel like family, especially Genie, who ensured we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. However, the Wi-Fi could use some improvement, and I wish there were more breakfast options. Overall, it was a fantastic value for our budget.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise, especially for our group of 14. The rooms, while not fancy, were clean with great air conditioning and hot showers. The friendly waitstaff at the on-site restaurant made our meals enjoyable. The only downsides were the limited towels provided and some facilities showing their age. However, the convenience of dining on-site and having a water taxi available made our stay very convenient and fairly priced.
