I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, which is perfectly located right by the beach, offering breathtaking ocean views. The rooms were spacious with eco-friendly products, though there was only one outlet for charging devices. The staff were universally friendly and attentive, making my experience enjoyable. However, the dining options were less varied than I expected, and the pricing could be more competitive considering the amenities provided.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its clean and comfortable rooms offering stunning oceanfront views. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel like royalty. However, the dining experience was a little hit or miss, and the pool area, while beautiful, was quite small given the number of guests. Overall, it felt like good value for money.

I had a nice stay at the hotel, with clean rooms that had a modern bathroom and a walk-in shower, which I appreciated as an older guest. The staff was friendly overall, though we had a bit of a struggle with the concierge. The location was a bit of a mixed bag with some construction around, but the beauty of the area made up for it. The dining options could use some variety, but the beachside dining was quite pleasant. Overall, it’s a decent place with great value for the money.
