amazing stay with beach views!

fine view good breakfast attentive staff

I am really excited to share my experience. The hotel offers fine views that are captivating, and i loved waking up to the sight of the ocean every morning! the breakfast buffet was a good experience. the staff were very attentive to every need. the two pools available at the hotel are clean and a lot of fun. i appreciate the hotel's well maintained facilities!

I encountered a slight inconvenience. The multiple lifts needed to reach my room were somewhat tedious. it was a little confusing.

adequate, but with issues

the staff looked helpful, and the location is very central.

i found that the bathroom accessories were shabby. the tub looked old, and opening the balcony door was difficult. it seemed better rooms were available, yet i was assigned a room next to the busy road with an obstructed view.
