I booked a king room and the room was excellent. Really spacious and the balcony was an added bonus. If you can. ask for a room away from the kitchen and tv room as it was quite noisy until late.

The 6-bed mixed rooms will not have curtains. If you are looking for more privacy, 4 bedrooms might be a better choice.

Had a great stay at Gilligan's Hotel & Resort! It's a fun, social hostel atmosphere with the option of private rooms, which was the perfect combination for us. Our room was spacious, clean, and surprisingly quiet, making it easy to relax after a busy day exploring. The housekeeping service did a great job keeping everything tidy throughout our stay. One of the best parts was the variety of activities offered each day, making it easy to meet people and stay entertained. The onsite restaurant is also a great value, especially with the daily $10 meal specials. Having the two-story nightclub attached adds to the fun atmosphere and creates a lively social scene without even having to leave the property. Great vibes all around, and I'd definitely stay here again!
