Unlike the Ritz Beach Resort (its nearby sibling on Taíno Beach), this hotel is set back from the water, about a 5-minute walk from a highly appealing length of white sand. Built of painted concrete, with three stories, it offers midsize, unpretentious, and uncomplicated bedrooms that are comfortable and attractively furnished in a Caribbean motif. Each has a well-maintained bathroom with tub/shower, and either two double beds or a king-size bed. Each comes with such extras as a microwave and toaster. From a nearby 20-slip marina, a water taxi runs hourly across a narrow saltwater canal to a pier operated by the Westin, from where it's a short walk to the Isle of Capri Casino and the center of Lucaya. The fee for transportation either way is US$2.50/£1.25 per person, free for infants under 2. Though amenities are sparse, customers are permitted to use the plentiful options at the Ritz Beach Resort.
