Facility is very scenic with the outlook to the water and private access to beach. Room was nice with a balcony facing the lawn. The door to get to the balcony was tougher to open than expected, could use some maintenance. The staff was very nice however when i asked several times for a scale to weight my bag for my upcoming flight the said it was out of batteries which is understandable. However a day and a half later as i was checking out the scale still didn't work. Minor inconvenience but i expected more from a Facility like this. Additionally in several areas there were ants inside the Facility. On the last day i found them in my room and have been picking them off my bag all the way until now when im sitting at my gate to my flight home. One of the reasons i booked this was the hot tub that was indicated in the description. This Facility does not have a hot tub however which was very disappointing. Seems like a much better place to stay in the summer season. I was very surprised at how affordable it was prior but after i understand. Pretty good for the price i paid.

Breakfast buffet is great. The beach is gorgeous and theres 2 restaraunts on the beach as well both are great. Parking is easy and plenty of spots.. I gave 4 stars bc the air conditioner is not great we left the sliding door open to cool down the room which was nice fresh breeze. Overall the property is nice...

Our Seaview cliff studio was tired and needs updating. However the main cleaning lady we met was wonderful and did a good job. Staff were mostly polite and engaging. Wifi was ok. Breakfast was good in variety but something were cold ( scrambled eggs were watery and held in a very large pan.

Very friendly staff. I requested a quiet room and that is what they gave me so I was very pleased. Still with a sea view but at the end of the corridor so a long walk but very little corridor noise. Breakfast selection very good and enjoyed the piano serenade. Very pleased , would come again.

States quite clearly, the room would be ready at 3pm, however because our flight was early we arrived at 11am, hoping a room be made available but not to be, we were told 3pm. Had a bit of lunch wandered around, came back around 3pm, the receptionist asked my name again & said the room was still not ready, come back 4pm., We returned at 4pm, the same receptionist asked my name for the third tiime … & the room was still not ready, we eventually got in at 4.30,. Great place but a shocking welcome..!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property condition was 2 star. Rooms and bathrooms are very old . We had to switch 2 rooms . The first room had a leak from the ceiling and the bathroom in the second room was very old and discusting . The worse part was the smell of the swage which was like a rotten egg .Unfortunately we had to deal with this smell at night time during our stay. It seemed all the rooms have this issue as we had to change the room 2 times and this smell was in every room. The great things about this hotel was the location , views, accessibility to a gourgous beach, buffet breakfast. Staffs are also very freindly and helpful. If the condition of the property is important to you and ofcourse the swage smell is something you can not tolerate , Do Not book this hotel.

Loved the view and closeness to the beach. Nice to be able to sit outside with a drink and enjoy a relaxing day. I was quite disappointed that they had not yet turned on the A/c for the season. All I could do was open the door which did not have a screen. I was ALWAYS warm overnight even when taking the heavy duvet out of the sheets. In my opinion, thermostat/temperature should be an option for the guest and for that reason alone, I probably would NOT stay again or recommend.

Location is very nice. Beautiful beach. Facilities is good. Would like to see the whirlpools both in and out be heated. Same temperature as main pools. The furniture in our suite was sub-par with only one lightbulb for the whole room. It was dark at night with this small floor lamp. The furniture was old and uncomfortable as was the table and chairs. More suited for a beach, not the suite. The only other issue was the hotel signage. There isn’t any on the road leading into the hotel. We arrived late at night and couldn’t find the hotel for a while because all you see is a gate that opens with your hotel room card or you ring a bell. You can’t see the hotel from the main road. With no actual signage to say this was the hotel entrance is not acceptable.
