The hotel is in a great location right on the beach, which is a major plus. The rooms are decent and mostly clean, but in need of some upgrades. While the staff is generally friendly, I did come across some who were less than helpful. The dining options could definitely use more variety. Overall, it's not a bad place, but it does have some room for improvement.

I stayed at this hotel recently and had mixed feelings. On the upside, it's in a great location right by the beach, which is a huge plus for enjoyment. Unfortunately, my room wasn't up to par; it was not clean and felt outdated. The service was decent, but there were some disturbance issues with noisy guests. Overall, it’s a decent place if you prioritize location, but I really hope the cleanliness and room conditions improve.

The hotel has a great location right by the beach, which I really enjoyed. However, the cleanliness of the rooms left a lot to be desired, with some unpleasant surprises like protein bar wrappers and mold. The service was a mixed bag—while some staff were friendly, there were moments of unprofessionalism that stood out. Overall, I loved the beachside access but wished for better room conditions and improved service interactions.
