I had a wonderful experience overall at the hotel, thanks to the exceptional customer service and beautiful waterfront views from our room. Although the pool area was fantastic, our room's mattress left something to be desired. The location was nice, but it wasn't directly on the beach, requiring a bit of a walk to get there. Still, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel, enjoying a spacious family suite that was very comfortable. While we loved the pool area and its proximity to the beach, the dining options, especially breakfast, left a little to be desired.

The hotel had a nice classic vibe and was clean, but it’s definitely looking a bit dated. The water view is enjoyable, and the pool area was a highlight for the kids. However, there were some downsides including noisy rooms and a very disappointing experience with the fire alarm which disrupted our stay. Overall, while the location is great, some issues with comfort and service left me underwhelmed.

The hotel offers stunning views from the balcony, making it a worthwhile place to stay, but the rooms are in dire need of updating. The service varied from wonderful to somewhat disappointing, especially regarding our late checkout request. Location-wise, it’s a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants, which is convenient. Overall, it’s a mixed bag, but the beautiful view might draw me back again.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was perfect, right by the beach with stunning views, and the manager made us feel welcomed. However, our experience was marred by cleanliness issues and noise from the nearby AC unit and music. The dining options were just okay, with the breakfast not living up to expectations. Overall, while there were some positives, I doubt I would return.

Rooms

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The beachfront location was excellent, and I loved the sunset views. However, the noisy air conditioning and the elevator next to my room made for an uncomfortable night. The dining was quite pricey, especially breakfast, but the pool area was nice. Parking fees were unexpected, and a fire alarm at 3 AM really disrupted my stay. I left feeling quite dissatisfied with the overall management's handling of the situation.

I had a decent time at the hotel, enjoying the fantastic views and proximity to the pool area where we watched dolphins. However, the dining experience was hit or miss, and I found some issues with the condition of the hotel overall. The rooms were nice but could use some updates. For the price, it felt like good value, though there were definitely some drawbacks.

My stay was quite disappointing, unfortunately. The hotel did not meet my expectations, as the room was not clean, and the hallways were dirty. The parking situation was frustrating, too, with an extra fee for parking. On a brighter note, the food at the restaurant was quite good, though the service left a lot to be desired. Overall, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
