Older facilities, but nice and clean.
The facilities (room) was dated, but mostly worked fine. The restaurant was good/friendly/clean. The beach-side restaurant was under construction (being renovated).

I always go back to Blue Jack Tar for its beautiful beach, quiet rooms, delicious food and friendly staff. The rooms are kept clean with plenty of hot water. It’s my home away from home.

Great location and chill hotel
Great location and chill hotel. Breakfast is included and is good. There were few people staying here, which meant we got the pool practically to ourselves and the beach cabanas and chairs were great too. The restaurant is ideal for dinner and there are other options up and down the beach as well. I would definitely stay here again. Golfers would especially like this place because it is right along the green around hiles 7 and 8, I believe.

Frauded on Tip at Restaurant $300 USD tip charged
We ate at their restaurant for dinner, and we had paid in Dominican Pesos, but for some reason they charged us a $300 USD tip on a $100 meal. Credit card company wouldn't take it off and it was clearly fraud.

Older resort but it was nice. Great air conditioning in the rooms. On this island that’s not always the case. Beach was nice. Had the pool all to ourselves. Good breakfast a la carte. Thumbs up.
