Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was an excellent experience overall. The location was fantastic with convenient access to the beach and downtown area. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very helpful and accommodating. However, the room could use some updates in terms of furniture and kitchen supplies. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities provided added to the pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, with easy access to the beach and downtown, but the room in Tower 4, Unit 803 lacked a balcony grill like other units. The service was top-notch, with attentive and quick assistance from the well-trained staff. However, the umbrellas were not numbered, causing a slight confusion. The facilities and commercial services were convenient, but the price could be a bit steep for what was offered.
I had an amazing time at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a beach theme and had all the essentials needed. The view was breathtaking. However, the rooms are in need of updating and new furniture.
Our stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were awesome, plenty of room for our family of 5, extremely nice and clean, allowing us to relax and share the Christmas holiday. The service was consistently professional, friendly, and always polite, making our stay extremely pleasant. The location was fabulous, in short walking distance to the beach and amenities. Dining at the hotel offered delicious smoked meat. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
My stay at tower 4 unit 803 was a mix of pros and cons. While the rooms were badly in need of updating and new furniture, the space was well-appointed and ready to go, ideal for families with babies and toddlers.
