Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Hard to write a review of this property, the staff were genuinely lovely and extremely helpful, however the first night we were allocated a room to the front of the hotel, and due to noise we didn’t sleep at all. They gracefully allowed us to move when we raised the issue and the second room was much better.
The rooms are a little tired. Furniture is a Laraine’s and walls need a re-paint, but they also have a lovely charm.
Good location and beautiful beach.
Having to pay a gratuity on the free breakfast everyday was a bit of a sting. Along with being charged the full resort fee despite the swimming pool not being operational when we stayed.
Beautiful place in a great location. The service is underwhelming, bordering on disinterested. Particularly before they received my reservation, they were a bit rude. I have mobility challenges, when i asked for a chair in the shower, the receptionist pointed to a few chairs and said “ you can take that one, no one uses it” instead of offering to bring a chair there. Not a bad experience, just for the price, the service is very mediocre
