My stay here at Launchpad was incredibly enjoyable due to the refreshing & relaxing environment- both inside and out. I stayed in the primary bedroom, and when I first opened the shades to the outdoor porch, I literally said "wow" out loud, even though I was alone at the time. I then left them open at night so that I could wake up to the sunrise each morning. While Marathon is nowhere close to a loud metropolis, this space manages to feel even more removed from the mainland than the rest of the island. Everything was clean and new and designed for comfort. I highly recommend this space for just about anyone. Next time I'll have to take advantage of the pool!
