The hotel’s location was fantastic, right on the beach, which was definitely a highlight for my stay. However, the rooms were older and didn’t match the online photos, and I faced a couple of issues with service that detracted from my experience. The amenities, like the pool and spa, didn't live up to expectations either, which was disappointing given the price I paid.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel, especially enjoying the breathtaking views from the lobby and the easy beach access. The heated pool and hot tub were perfect after a day in the sun. Although we had some issues with room cleanliness initially, the staff promptly accommodated us with a much better room. While the dining experience was enjoyable, I did feel that some areas of the hotel could use a bit of updating.

The hotel offers a wonderful beachfront location that allows you to hear the ocean waves, making for a relaxing stay. The rooms are cozy and offer a nice ambiance, although they could use a little updating. While my wife and I appreciated the clean room and convenient access to the pool, the noise from the restaurant above and the exceptionally loud waves at night were a bit bothersome. Overall, it feels like a good deal for a beach getaway, especially with the fantastic restaurant on-site.

The hotel offers a lovely experience with clean rooms and great views, making it a nice family-friendly spot. The staff is genuinely pleasant, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. However, the noise from late-night partiers could be a concern for some, and some facilities could use a bit more attention to detail. Overall, it was a great vacation spot, but improvements in noise management and cleanliness in certain areas would elevate the experience.

The hotel is fantastic for families, especially with kids, as it's right on the beach and offers a heated pool that's perfect for swimming year-round. Our room was clean and comfortable, but the restaurant experience left much to be desired with slow service and mediocre food. While we enjoyed the beautiful ocean views from the bar, the dining issues really impacted our stay. Overall, it's a solid choice if you prioritize location and family-friendly features over dining.

Our stay at the hotel was far from ideal. While the location near the ocean was great, the cleanliness and upkeep of the rooms were disappointing. The service was generally professional, but issues with room conditions overshadowed any positives. It felt more like an old motel than a resort, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it unless they make significant improvements.

Our stay at this hotel had some great moments, particularly the beautiful view from our room and the friendly staff at the front desk. The location right by the beach was perfect for morning walks, and the lounge area added a nice touch to our stay.

This hotel is beautifully located right on the beach, offering stunning views and direct access to the shore. My room was spacious and clean, but it had a strange odor and felt like it needed some serious refurbishing. The service really let me down during my stay; I had several issues trying to get basic assistance and nobody seemed to be available to help. Overall, while the location and amenities are good, the disappointing service and the state of the rooms make it hard to recommend.
