The most recent renovation included changes to the hotel’s public spaces.

The completion was announced during the CHTA’s recent Caribbean Travel Marketplace conference in Nassau.

“These changes have allowed us to make a style statement and set ourselves apart from other mid-range hotels on the island and in the Caribbean,” said Cecile Gibson, general manager of the hotel. “The response from our guests has certainly exceeded our expectations.”

The changes include full public area upgrades, a total redesign of the property’s Tropical Mist Bar and Restaurant; an ocean-facing pool deck and the inclusion of artwork by Barbados’ Jeena Chatrani.
