My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, though showing some signs of age, were comfortable and clean, although the air conditioning was a bit challenging to control. The nights were a bit warm for my liking, but the beds were cozy. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful, ensuring a clean and sanitized environment. The location was gorgeous, right on the beach, but could use some cleaning and maintenance. The dining experience was satisfactory if a bit limited, but the proximity to the ocean and other attractions made it worth it.

Staying at this hotel was fantastic! The room was awesome, clean, and comfy, but unfortunately, the ocean view was obstructed by the pool house. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff attending to our needs promptly. The location was breathtaking, with great proximity to key attractions. The dining experience was good overall, but inconvenient having to eat out. The hotel facilities were enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms overlooked the ocean, they had a slight funky smell and obstructed the stunning ocean view with the indoor pool building below. However, the rooms were overall pretty clean.

I loved that our room overlooked the ocean, but there was a slight funky smell. Also, being above the indoor pool obstructed the beautiful view I enjoy.

I had to go out for breakfast all weekend, which was a bit inconvenient. The option to have breakfast at the hotel would have been nice. However, the muffins in the evenings were a nice touch.
