    We liked it and would recomand to anyone! It was really beautiful and gorgeous 3-star hotel as stated in the description. The venue was in a secluded setting on the bike paths that are all over the island. The breakfast was complimentary and nice hot especially the toast, cookies, and eggs.

    We had 5 great days here, recommend the place. Really good staff and favourable location close enough to a grocery store or restaurants, everything was wonderful. The room we booked was updated and clean and available with the Kimball and a full kitchen and good views. Location: the hotel was near beach and rest of the island as well as the gulf coast.

    The value for our money was outstanding and the room at Matthews Lodge was pure luxury with a beautiful ocean view. The location was perfect, right on a beautiful and uncrowded stretch of beach with stunning sunsets. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and were friendly throughout our stay.

    Breakfast selection could be improved with more variety.

    I had a lovely gulf view room in Kimball. The hotel has a number of buildings which include cottages and sits directly on the beach. The view was wonderful, great amenities, the bed was perfect and I slept like a baby, plus I liked the pillows so much that I wrote down the info on the label for a future purchase. The staff was wonderful. The maintenance people were impressive - my shower did not work properly and I mentioned it to the cleaning lady. In under two hours, parts were replaced and they even put a new motor in the exhaust fan. I have stayed in 5 star resorts and have never seen this kind of response time.
