Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is its best feature, being clean and pleasant with a good view of the area, but it's unfortunate that the rooms need more light and decoration to match the beach vibe. The dining experience was a letdown with cold and greasy food in the mornings, despite the outstanding service. The hotel is right on the beach, which is a major plus, but the downside is the damp and musty rooms that don't match the pictures.
The hotel had a nice location by the seawall and is family-friendly, but it could get noisy. The service was exceptional, with welcoming staff and thoughtful gestures, apart from one uncomfortable encounter. The dining experience was above average with a classic Italian menu, while the rooms offered a mix of positives and negatives, including a distracting view of rooftop equipment. Overall, an enjoyable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, equipped with a fridge and microwave, and I appreciated the family-friendly amenities like the 'theater' and activity room. However, I had some issues with the staff being overly prying and defensive in their responses. The location was excellent, right across from the beach, but the dining options were limited in the closed restaurant until 2 pm.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not so great experiences. The location was fantastic, right by the beach with easy access to restaurants, but the noise level was a bit distracting at times. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly and helpful staff, yet the dining options left something to be desired in terms of variety and price.
