First time staying at this hotel, very good staff nice facilities, but the rooms need to be upgraded. A little outdated, although nice sized but little mold in the bathroom and one air conditioner in the window for the whole room is a little bit outdated. Although everything worked and the people were nice. Did not like my room‘s location. It was at the end of a ramp by an elevator on the ground floor and all we had was noise in the morning And up till 10 o’clock at night. But it wasn’t terrible. Would be nice if the pool wasn’t in the middle of a parking lot, but honestly, it wasn’t bad. Price is high. I would stay again because the pool was very nice and very clean although I’ll be looking for other locations for next year.

Dining options in hotel and around are limited- There isn't a cafe for morning milk/coffee etc. 15min walk away there are options, but not suitable if you are traveling as a big group or with kids. the front desk staff has a lot of attitude! They rarely have a smile on their face and always seem annoyed, and don’t look welcoming for any questions.

Very comfortable stay with great amenities

Very comfortable stay overall and great amenities. We loved that the beach passes included lounge chairs and an umbrella. We also enjoyed sitting at the rockers at the front of the building to overlook the ocean, watch the sunset and feel the nice breeze. King room was updated and spacious. Only minor complaints - outlets not available on both nightstands for charging, no great options for hanging bath towels within the room, and reading lights didn’t work. Also, initially confusing to locate our room.

Disliked: Staff & service
The safe is at ground level- requiring one to sit in the floor in order to open or close it. The coffee machine did not work- no one came to fix it. We finally learned that the outlet to which it was plugged was dead. We had to purchase morning coffee.

Love the pools that there are two of them one in one out I like the fact that you could order food from the restaurant there cause it was really good. I like the fact that it was across the street from the beach and that the location was excellent.
