Great place to have your wedding!

Great venue to have your ceremony and reception. The venue is very accommodating and Carol was great to work with. The ballroom looks really nice and the venue is reasonably priced.

Great location right on the beach

The Islander was our hotel of choice for our wedding guests. They were very friendly to work with in setting up our block of rooms. Everyone we worked with was so nice. When one of our guests had issues with flights and arrived very early in the morning the hotel was very accommodating to them.
Being right on the beach was great and they even have beach chairs that can be used for free!
Various room styles are available for you and your guests!
