This hotel is located right on the beach, making it super convenient for a seaside getaway. The rooms have recently been updated and have a beachy vibe that I loved. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, but I felt that a few areas could use some upgrades and the price was a bit on the high side.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The pools were definitely a highlight, but the room was a letdown with maintenance issues and cleanliness problems.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was outstanding, just a short walk to the beach, and the pool area was really nice. However, my room had several issues, including a toilet that didn't flush, and I found hair in the shower. The check-in process was also frustrating, as I didn't get my room until 6 PM, and the lobby was hot. I think I’d prefer to pay a little extra for a more comfortable stay elsewhere.

The hotel is in a prime location, perfect for a relaxing vacation right on the beach, and has a couple of pools and a splash pad, which my daughter loved. The rooms were somewhat comfortable, but we did notice an unpleasant odor and filthy carpets. The staff members were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed. While the dining options were basic and lacked variety, the overall experience was enjoyable. Despite some issues, it offered a solid value for money.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The pools were definitely a highlight, but I had several issues with the room, like a malfunctioning toilet and some cleanliness problems. The staff did well to handle a busy breakfast, keeping things running smoothly despite the chaos. Location-wise, it’s just off the beach and near restaurants, which is convenient, but the noise at night was a bit much. Overall, I think I would prefer to spend a little more on a better hotel next time.
