William

United States, December 2024

5.8/10

My stay was a mixed bag. While the beach access was amazing and the pool bar service was enjoyable, the overall cleanliness and condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The rooms had some serious issues like size and maintenance that really negatively impacted my experience. I had hoped for more based on the price I paid.

Rooms

5.0

The room was okay but definitely lacking in basic amenities and cleanliness. There were issues with the size and overall maintenance.

Service

5.0

Unfortunately, the service didn't meet my expectations. Staff seemed overwhelmed and there was a lack of basic provisions like laundry bags.

Location

9.0

The location, just steps from the beach, was fantastic and a major highlight of my stay.

Dining

5.0

I didn't have a dining experience worth mentioning, as meals were not included and I didn't try the restaurant.
