St. Augustine's Monastery

A beautiful marina for those who desire a peaceful spot.

The hotel is new and modern with a great ambiance. There is at least one restaurant on-site offering lunch, dinner, cocktails, and limited room service hours. The Atria is also a nice option for smoothies, juices, and cocktails, though I would recommend offering a fresh juice bar instead of prepackaged options to enhance the experience. The pool and beach access are truly the highlights of this property, with beautiful views that add to the relaxing atmosphere. I stayed in the Gold Terrace Studio with a partial ocean view. The room was comfortable but could benefit from some improvements. Additional electrical outlets—especially standard plugs on both sides of the bed—would be helpful, as there were only USB ports available. For a studio that accommodates up to four guests, the closet space is quite limited. I was disappointed to find one of the closets locked and inaccessible because it was being used to store the owner's personal items. Therefore, limiting guests to half a closet that already contained the safe and a chest of drawers leaving very reduced hanging space for longer clothing. When renting a room, guests should have full access to all available storage. If owners need to store their belongings, I would suggest providing a secure storage area elsewhere in the building with lockers designated for that purpose.

The property and staff are very nice and the close proximity to Atlantis is a major plus!
