Unlike the Ritz Beach Resort (its nearby sibling resort), which sits directly astride 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 hotel. From here, it's a short walk to the Isle of Capri casino and the center of the Lucaya district, with its multiple bars, shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. (The fee for transportation either way is $2.50/£1.30 per person, free for infants under 2.) Although amenities are sparse, customers are permitted to use the plentiful options at the Ritz Beach Resort.
