What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Gorgeous Oceanview Room

I had an oceanview room that was gorgeous and modern. The room was very spacious and the bathroom was also very spacious. It was lovely to see the sunset on the ocean every day from my room's window. The hotel grounds are beautiful and quiet, providing a relaxing experience. The hotel is very clean and the service is really good. The front desk was attentive to all my needs and any requests. Housekeeping was great and really went the extra mile to ensure the room was perfectly arranged and clean every day. I was very impressed.

Breakfast every morning was a true delight; there was a wide range of options and the dining room was spacious enough that it never felt overcrowded. Overall, my dining experiences at the hotel were some of the highlights of my stay.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right across from the beach and close to dining options. However, the noise from the bar was disruptive, and the dining options could use improvement. While the facilities were decent, I had mixed feelings about the customer service and overall value for the price.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mix. On the plus side, the location was fantastic, right on the beach with a beautiful sea view. The sea view room was spacious and clean, making for a comfortable stay. However, check-in was a hassle, taking over an hour, and the service felt quite lacking, particularly when I faced issues with uncleaned rooms. Overall, it had both highs and lows, but I can't overlook the forgotten towels in my room.
