Reviews and Ratings
I just stayed at this hotel and let me tell you, the location is perfect, just across the street from the beach and overlooking the ocean. The rooms, well, mine was small, very plainly decorated, and didn't even have a bathroom but hey, at least I was right by the beach. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with some staff being very helpful while others seemed like they were doing me a huge favor just for basic requests. Dining options were limited, but I found some great hot dogs nearby. The facilities were decent, but nothing too fancy. Overall, it's an okay place if you prioritize location over room comfort and service.
The hotel is in a prime location, just across the street from the beach and surrounded by various attractions. The rooms are impeccably clean and cozy, though lacking some practical amenities. The service was exceptional, making my stay truly enjoyable. However, the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, a great value for the price.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, despite offering a beautiful view, lacked some basic amenities like hooks for towels. The service was a bit hit or miss, with instances of both friendliness and rudeness. The location was great, just across the street from the beach, but the overall experience was a bit disappointing.
The hotel's location is perfect for beach lovers, offering quick access to the ocean and a relaxing ambiance. The rooms were small, basic, and lacked some essentials, but they served their purpose for the night. The service was mixed, with some staff being extremely friendly and helpful, while others were less attentive. The dining options nearby were convenient, and the facilities were adequate for a short stay.
