We are here for a weekend getaway and have just been blown away by the great service, great rooms, and great views. We have stayed at super high end places like the four seasons but I don't think I've ever enjoyed those in quite the same way a boutique like this. Can't recommend the island inn 123 any more than...

We stayed overnight at the Island Inn to celebrate a birthday. I got the ziplining package through the hotel; totally worth it! We received a complimentary upgrade from the hotel (THANK YOU!), which we greatly appreciated. The rooms were CLEAN (and I am a germ-a-phobe, neat freak) and beautifully decorated. The bed was so comfortable. The staff here are amazing.... More

We were in Penthouse 2 and were impressed with the layout, the amazing fixtures and fittings. The steam shower was sheer heaven, the view incredible and the level of service is second to none. We will be back in the summer.

We spent three nights at the Island Inn in one of the Euro 'sweets' and greatly enjoyed our stay. The room was larger than expected, spotlessly clean, with comfortable furnishings, a spa-like bathroom with heated floors, a view over the harbour and lots of special touches. The television and satellite reception were excellent. We also appreciated the underground parking with... More
