This hotel is situated on the beach, providing a convenient and scenic location. My room had a great view, but the noise from nearby construction was a bit disturbing. While some staff members were helpful, the overall service was often slow and disorganized. The dining options were largely unimpressive, leaving me to seek meals outside the hotel, which affected the overall experience.

The hotel has a beautiful beachside location and nice outdoor areas, including two swimming pools. However, the room we stayed in was disappointing with significant maintenance issues and uncomfortable beds. Service was inconsistent and the dining experience left much to be desired, particularly with the quality of food and long wait times.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the beachside location was lovely and the view from the dining area was pleasant, the service left much to be desired. The rooms were okay, but without much character, and the dining experience was frequently disappointing due to the food's temperature and quality. Overall, I would say the hotel has potential but definitely needs improvements.

Rooms

The rooms were just standard compared to what we paid, and they were in a separate building from the main hotel. Not very impressive.

The hotel is near the beach, which allows for enjoyable beach life, but the cleanliness around the pool area was concerning with bird mess everywhere.
Dining

Dining was hit or miss; sometimes they had good options like made-to-order eggs, but on other occasions, the food was just oily and served lukewarm. Breakfast could also be quite crowded.

The facilities, including the beach views and pools, were quite nice, but they need better upkeep overall.

My recent stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, just steps from the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sun and surf. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the dining experience left much to be desired. A few service issues marred the overall experience, particularly during breakfast, where the staff seemed overwhelmed and the food was often lukewarm. Overall, while there are some really great aspects, improvements in service and dining would make a significant difference.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The beachfront location is stunning, and the room I stayed in had a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff were quite helpful, but there were some issues with cleanliness and amenities that made the stay less enjoyable than I’d hoped. Although the dining options were decent, they didn't always deliver on expectations, and the noise levels during my stay were quite high, which detracted from the overall experience.
