Family with children will love it
The breakfast was amazing, served from 6 to 10 a.m., so no rush. And they even helped me set up for my birthday, which made the kids' smiles way brighter. ❤️
It wasn't exactly cheap, but for what you get, it’s still acceptable.

The ocean view from the higher floors is amazing, offering a nice distraction from the chaos below. Breakfast was decent-nothing to rave about, but it got the job done.
The location suffers from noisy clubs that keep the party going all night. The facilities themselves are dated, particularly the elevators, which didn't function properly and added unnecessary stair-climbing to my day. To top it off, the shower in my room wasn’t working, forcing me to wash up in the bath instead. Parking is also a hassle. It’s far from the hotel and not user-friendly at all. On top of that, I found no double pin plugs in the rooms, which is a drag. It's hard to justify the cost when you encounter these inconveniences.

The hotel had a nice pool area and fun games in the lounge which kept the kids entertained. We relaxed by the beach every evening and enjoyed the beautiful sunset views. Only downside was some noise from a nearby party, but it didn’t ruin our stay at all—just make sure to pack earplugs! 🏖️

Great beach access and excellent staff service
The ocean view was spectacular, and the friendly staff really made our stay enjoyable, especially the kitchen staff and chef, who provided some of the best meals we’ve had. The place is perfect for families with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. the elevators need an upgrade, as it was quite a workout going up and down the stairs.

Great location close to the beach and attractions, with breakfast showcasing seasonal local products that impressed. The spacious family room was tidy, offering a comfortable stay, while staff responsiveness during an incident with my sister demonstrated their attention. extra costs like parking were frustrating, and some furnishings felt outdated, impacting overall comfort.
