The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The on-site restaurant was a highlight of my stay. I particularly enjoyed the octopus, which was flavorful and reasonably priced given the amazing view. The live music on Friday and Saturday nights added a festive touch, making dinner feel special. I was impressed by the quality of food and the atmosphere during my meals at the hotel.

Great Pool Area

The pool area was a fantastic place to relax during my stay! There were two pools and two hot tubs, which were well-maintained. The temperature of the pool was just right and made for a comfortable swimming experience. I enjoyed lounging by the poolside while taking in the beautiful views, although it could get lively with families enjoying the area.

Comfortable Rooms with Good Amenities

I stayed in a Deluxe Double Room and was pleased to find it very clean and spacious. It had large windows and a private balcony that maximized the stunning views outside. The fridge and microwave were great amenities, and housekeeping did a great job keeping everything tidy throughout my stay.

Nice Bathroom Setup

The bathroom in my room was quite nice. It was clean and spacious, which made getting ready for the day much easier. The hot water worked well, and I appreciated that there were enough toiletries provided, which made my stay comfortable. It was a pleasant surprise to have such good water pressure in the sink, too.

6.4/10

The hotel is situated right on the beachfront, which is definitely a highlight. Our oceanfront room was clean and came equipped with a fridge and microwave, making it convenient for our stay. However, the check-in experience was somewhat off-putting due to the overly strict policies we encountered. The pools were uncomfortably cold, and the restaurant played loud music that disrupted our relaxation. Overall, while the location and room conditions were good, the aggressive policies and issues with noise overshadowed the positives.

Rooms

The room was clean, had a microwave, and offered an oceanfront view, but the first room we were assigned was poorly maintained, with a hard bed and thin walls that allowed for noise from neighboring rooms.

The hotel's location right on the beachfront is a major plus, but the construction work nearby detracted from the overall experience.

While the restaurant had nice outdoor seating, the menu was somewhat pricey, and the loud music they played made it difficult to enjoy our meals.

The pool area was well-maintained, but the pool's temperature was too cold for comfortable swimming, which could be a downside if you're looking to relax by the water.

United States, February 2025

5.6/10

I had high hopes for this hotel based on its location, but my experience was quite disappointing. While the beach access was great, the rooms left a lot to be desired, feeling outdated and poorly maintained. The noise from the pool area was also a significant drawback, and the service didn't seem proactive when it came to addressing issues. Overall, the hotel is budget-friendly, but you truly get what you pay for.

The hotel had some standout aspects, like a clean and spacious room with a beautiful view, as well as excellent amenities including a heated pool. However, the check-in process felt overly strict and unfriendly, which was disappointing. The beachfront location was a plus, but noise from the hot tub and nearby construction during the day detracted from the overall experience.

My stay at this hotel was mixed. The location is great, right on the beach, but there were significant issues with the rooms and the overall service. The restaurant had decent food but was a bit expensive, and the loud music every night disrupted my sleep. While it has potential, the ongoing construction and poor room conditions made it less than ideal for a relaxing getaway.

Rooms

The initial room was unacceptable with a cracked door and an uncomfortable bed. After switching rooms, things improved, but they still had their flaws.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. While the location was fantastic with easy access to the beach and some fun activities nearby, the rooms could use some serious updates and the dining options were underwhelming. The service wasn't great, and I had a few issues with cleanliness. Overall, it has potential, but there are areas that need improvement.

Rooms

Dining options were a bit disappointing; the food was decent but felt overpriced and didn't include breakfast.
