The Locale Hotel was a nice surprise. We wanted a less expensive property and one that had a beach we could use. The beach was about an 8-minute walk down the street and was NOT crowded. We sat under a tree on the beach every day and only saw people walking past for exercise but hardly anyone sitting near us on the beach. They provide you with beach chairs/towels, so it was worth the brief walk and to have sand underfoot, which some of the resorts no longer have much of, and nice to have space around you. The rooms were nice and spacious. You could hear a little night traffic as the rooms face the street side but nothing that would keep you awake at night. the bathroom had a nice sized shower. The breakfast was nice, although you have a certain section of the menu to choose from...again it was certainly adequate. Nice restaurants to walk to from the Locale and the people were helpful and friendly. They have a pool (4' deep) on the side of the Locale; not large but nice size to take a dip after the beach and sit around on the lounge chairs. All and all, we were very happy with our choice and would stay there again in the future. We didn't feel that we sacrificed much at the Locale vs. a larger resort on the island. You won't be sorry.
