This hotel was built during an unfortunate Disney-style period in Freeport's expansion during the early 1980s. Its improbable-looking pyramidal roofs inspired by a trio of Mayan pyramids were rendered somewhat less obvious in 2004 when they were covered with dark-gray metal. Interiors are tasteful and hospitable, with rooms arranged around a verdant courtyard that seems far removed from the busy traffic and sterile-looking landscape outside. Rooms on the street level have white-tile floors, while those upstairs have wall-to-wall carpeting. Bathrooms are on the small side, but have sinks and tub/showers. Throughout, the motif is Floridian tropical, with some pizzazz and rates that tend to be cheaper than the Best Western across the street. There's a family link between the owners of this place and the owners of the more opulent Xanadu, so an hourly bus shuttles between here and there. There's a coffee-shop-style snack bar and a small restaurant on the premises, but other than that, you'll have to wander a short distance, perhaps to the International Bazaar just across the street, to find diversions and dining.
