6.8/10

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, primarily due to its great location right on the beach with beautiful views from my room. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience pleasant overall. However, the rooms could have been cleaner, and there were some issues regarding service that weren't ideal. The dining options were nice, but I found them to be a bit overpriced for what they offered.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms weren't very clean when I arrived and had a bit of a mildew smell. There's definitely room for improvement here.

Service

7.0

The staff was super nice and helpful, but I did encounter some inconsistency with the checkout policy which felt a bit rude.

Location

9.0

The hotel is located right on the beach at a less crowded end, with stunning ocean views from every room. Just be aware that it could be a bit difficult for guests with mobility issues to access the beach.

Dining

6.0

Dining at the hotel was nice, especially the option to eat outside with an ocean view, but I felt the buffet was overpriced.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel offered some good facilities, but they could use more variety to enhance the guest experience.
