Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The room was nice despite the need to switch, with good functioning amenities and a balcony, but there were issues with service quality and a pushy staff trying to sell memberships. The location had both crowded areas and good security measures, making it a mixed bag.
The hotel had some issues with leaks in the room, which made it dirty and unsafe due to slippery floors. However, the service was lacking training in customer care and seemed focused on promoting timeshares. On the upside, the location was beautiful and offered a serene pool area, though table availability in the resort's restaurants was challenging.
The hotel is ideally located near a quiet shallow pool, close to where the animation team operates, and boasts an excellent beach. The rooms are adequate, with a mini bar stocked with beverages, cleaned daily, and feature balconies. The service is top-notch, always available and helpful, although some staff members lacked enthusiasm. The location, closest to the beach and well-kept, is a highlight despite some aspects affecting its value. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel was beautiful, clean, and very close to the beach. The rooms were nicely updated and clean, although there was a safety hazard with a leak in the entrance and some availability issues upon check-in. The service was kind, helpful, and happy overall, but there were some issues with attention at the table and check-in. The location is nice overall, though it can get crowded, and there were instances of rudeness. The dining experience was fine, with friendly staff but lacking in some aspects. The facilities were good overall.
The hotel rooms were comfortable and looked fresh, very clean and spacious despite the air conditioner not working in the first room. The dining experience felt like a school canteen with tablecloths and bad food, but the service staff were really nice celebrating special occasions. The location was kept clean and tidy with security measures in place, while the facilities were fine overall.
The hotel offers a mix of comforts with a few drawbacks. The rooms, although comfortable, had some maintenance issues like a dysfunctional bath and a slow response time. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, especially with a friendly hello from the staff. The location is convenient, situated near the beach, but lacks easy access to nearby shops. The dining experience was of good quality but seemed understaffed at times.
I had a bit of a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not the greatest, with a safety hazard of a leak in the entrance, but they were cleaned every single day. Despite some issues with service, the staff was cheerful and very helpful. The location had its ups and downs, being very crowded, but it was also right by the most beautiful beach in the area. The dining was decent, but lacking variety. Overall, a somewhat average stay with some highlights and drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, meeting my expectations, but there were issues with cleanliness, the air conditioner not working, and intermittent hot water. On the upside, the location was stunning with a beautiful beach nearby, though it was a bit inconvenient to access some nearby shops. The service was inconsistent, with some staff members being attentive while others seemed distracted. The dining options were decent, and the breakfast was enjoyable. However, the presence of many sellers on the beach was a downside.
