10/10 Excellent

"I loved the space and the balcony beach view !"

14 West Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel for families. Right next to a Ralph's, and 2 restaurants right across the way. Would definitely stay here again. The hotel does definitely need upgrades but overall our room was clean. The suite we stayed at easily accommodated 5 of us, we got the king bed and the sofa pull out which was perfect and we still had another sofa in the room. The pool area was so nice with a gazebo. The location was so perfect to catch the trolley so we didn't need to drive anywhere. All of the staff were super friendly."
