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.
