The Islander Hotel was a pleasant surprise! Conveniently within walking distance from the airport, it was a wonderful place to spend my first night. Breakfast was included and delicious, and served in a lovely beachside restaurant.

We love the ease of being able to walk from the airport. We love how much space we had in our room. Everything was clean and ready for us. We wish we would have asked for water and ice when we checked in.

The outside from the street understates the interior. The room was nice, clean and the bed comfortable. I was worried about the bar going all night, but it closed at a reasonable time. Great place to stay if you are catching a plane or arriving late.

Booked this hotel so my family and I (including two young children) could sleep for a few hours before getting on a late flight. Very basic but that is ok for just a few hours stay. Beds had only a sheet. There was very loud music from the bar which made it impossible to sleep. Would not recommend for this reason.

Convenient location to airport, just a short walk away. No desk staff most of the time, had to make inquiries at the bar or ask a server to assist. Room was very clean and would stay here again for the convenience while waiting for flights.

Those with children beware! There was loud music going late into the night, once until nearly midnight. Staff said they would turn it down at 10pm, but they never did.

Great location to airport. Literally right across the road. 3 minute walk. Staff are so lovely. There is a popular bar onsite. Great if you are sociable and intend being in there at night! Rooms are directly behind bar area but didn’t notice it in my room to be honest. Pool is located in the restaurant and never saw anyone swim in it for that reason. Awesome cultural show and dinner on Tuesday nights. Room is spacious and clean. I’d def stay here again on my return

We stayed only one night before our accommodations were ready. Arriving at almost midnight, we found them ready for us, friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and most of all cool. Breakfast the next morning was stellar. We slept well, had a wonderful breakfast and were ready to start the day!
