I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful beachfront location and the friendly service. The rooms, while spacious, are starting to show their age and could use some refurbishment. Dining was hit or miss, and I was a bit disappointed in the breakfast selection. Overall, it's a great spot for families, but there's room for improvement in a few areas.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the location was excellent, with plenty of dining options nearby, the rooms left much to be desired as they felt dirty and outdated. The service, unfortunately, was quite poor, which was disappointing. Overall, it had great potential but fell short in several key areas.

I had a great experience overall at this hotel. The rooms were nice and cozy, and the view from the balcony was absolutely gorgeous—waking up to that every morning was a real treat. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, making our stay enjoyable. However, the service could use some improvement as it felt a bit uncaring at times. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants, and the breakfast buffet offered plenty of options.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, with its strategic location offering beautiful views from the balcony, particularly rooms facing the beach. However, the rooms could definitely use an upgrade as they don't seem to justify the cost, especially when I found dirt under the fridge and sofa on my first day. The service didn't feel very friendly, and dining options were quite repetitive during my stay. Overall, it's a comfortable place, but there are areas that need improvement.
