I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is amazing, close to the beach and surrounded by great dining options. The rooms were well-equipped, allowing me to feel at home, and the staff was wonderfully accommodating. On the downside, the dining experience could be improved with more variety. The overall value for the price paid was reasonable, but some small details could be fine-tuned for an even better experience.

The service was outstanding, going above and beyond with early check-in and friendly staff.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a stunning ocean view and a refreshing breeze, but they fell short of what was promised during the reservation, showing signs of wear. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and accommodating staff. The location was convenient for beach visits but noisy late at night. The dining options were good, especially the recommended places nearby, but some considerations for room amenities could enhance the stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I got was quite loud, and the bathroom had an unpleasant smell of sewage. However, the bed was comfortable though shabby, and overall, I felt it was overpriced. On the positive side, the room was nice, clean, and comfy but lacked a peaceful ambiance due to noise from other guests. The kitchen was not used, so I can't comment on that. The air conditioning was switched off, affecting the room's comfort level.

The hotel's location was a definite highlight. It offered a variety of options nearby, including fine dining, ice-cream parlors, and convenient transportation options like golf cart taxis. Nighttime entertainment was also just a 10-minute walk away, enhancing the overall experience.

Dining

The dining experience was somewhat disappointing as breakfast wasn't included in the room rate and had to be purchased separately from another building, adding to the overall cost.

Facilities

While I didn't use many of the facilities, the hotel offered cozy seating areas and a view to enjoy. However, the need to keep curtains closed due to an office window affected the natural light and ambiance.
