Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers excellent rooms that are spacious, with high ceilings, effective air conditioning, and comfortable seating. The service, although a bit slow at times, was always there to assist when needed. The location is prime, right on the beachfront with plenty of dining options around. The dining experience was outstanding, offering a 'proper' dining room experience. Overall, a great stay with a few minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room had some maintenance issues and the ongoing construction noise was bothersome, the spacious room with a huge balcony and excellent amenities like bathrobes made it quite comfortable. The breakfast buffet offered a good variety of food, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the service could be hit or miss, with some staff members being unhelpful, while others were pleasant and eager to assist.
The hotel offered a wonderful stay overall with fantastic views, great ambiance, and exceptional staff members. The breakfasts were delightful. However, the issue of canceling a room and some issues with the coffee machine were noticeable.
