Really nice hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms, and some really nice touches (free bottle of wine of arrival, turn down service, flexible cleaning schedule). We did not make any use of the facilities and so the resort fee seemed a bit of a waste (but that’s on us, not the hotel!). Location was OK but not super close to the beach or pier (20-40 mins walk to restaurants, bars, shops, etc).

Completely unacceptably arrogantly rude unappreciative unapologetic front desk staff who tried to intimidate during our check out for their own ineptitude of miscommunication for not following through with what’s been approved. Dirty water suddenly pouring out of the main air vent on the ceiling during the stay, temperature climate control doesn’t work in the room either. Won’t stay here again.

Waterpressure low. Soap scums in the bathtub. Only one bathrobe available. Before checkout time, housekeeping knocked and when we were slow to get out of bed opened the door. We only stayed for 1 night so we couldnt understand why anybody would come in for housekeeping before our checkout time at 11am
