The hotel offers stunning ocean views and a convenient location close to the Marina and town center. The rooms are comfortable, though some lack space and storage. The dining experience is fantastic with amazing views, while the facilities are well-maintained.
Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience. The rooms, while not reaching the same level as the public areas and the stunning location, were still comfortable and spacious. The service was top-notch, making me feel truly welcomed and taken care of. The location was unbeatable, offering breathtaking views of the sea and attentive staff. The dining options were hit or miss, with some great choices but also some basic offerings. Overall, a great value for the price, especially considering the well-maintained facilities.
My stay at the hotel was quite unique. The room had a crazy quirky decor that might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me, it added more to the experience. The service was top-notch, with incredibly kind and helpful staff. The location was just outside the main town, right by the water, offering gorgeous views. The dining experience was good overall. Despite some quirks, the facilities were well-maintained and served their purpose well.
The hotel had a crazy quirky decor that may not suit everyone's taste, but for us, it added more to the experience. The rooms were refreshed frequently, comfortable, and well-equipped, though a bit small. The service was super friendly and helpful, with staff being extremely genuine and pleasant, though not well trained in some aspects. The location was good, right on the water, ideal for watching the waves, and close to the downtown area but far enough for a quiet stay. The dining options ranged from very basic items to fantastic meals with lovely views. The facilities included a lovely swimming pool and bar, but some areas might need resurfacing. The price was considered reasonable for the value provided.
The hotel provided a standard experience for a 5-star hotel, with drawbacks including small rooms lacking storage space and basic amenities, along with issues in room decoration and air conditioning. On the positive side, the service was exceptional, making the stay worthwhile despite the high cost.
