Capt. Thomson's Resort

Capt. Thomson's Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of ABay. Very walkable to restaurants and shops. Our room was very clean and we very much enjoyed the pool. The water view from the balcony is beautiful. Only cautionary tale regarding the balcony is to try and book a room that is not along the Uncle Sam boat docking area. The boats are left running while parked at the dock, in between tours, and the diesel fume smell can get very strong while sitting on the balcony. But, this would not deter me from staying there again in a different room."
