Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a spacious room, but the lack of privacy was a downside. It was very basic with no kitchen knives or alarm clock. The room was large but had minimal furniture, bare walls, and needed maintenance. The outdated bathroom, noisy fridge, and poor lighting also affected the experience. Overall, it didn't offer good value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The new rooms were fantastic, offering everything we needed and even more space than we expected, with a lovely deck and a view of the ocean. However, the room felt a bit airless and warm due to too many windows without curtains on the upper parts.
The hotel is situated in a breathtaking location right by the beach with stunning views. The rooms, although spacious, could use some updating and additional amenities. The service was top-notch with friendly and accommodating staff. The dining experience was basic, but the staff made up for it with exceptional service. The facilities were clean and well-kept, offering a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel had a great location with a wonderful view and a balcony with comfy chairs overlooking the harbor. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring we enjoyed our stay. The dining experience was a bit let down by limited options, and the facilities were slightly aging. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor downsides.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was spacious but lacked in amenities and needed some maintenance. The service was friendly and helpful, adding a pleasant touch to my stay. The location was superb, offering beautiful views and easy access to the beach. However, the dining options were limited and underwhelming. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
