This hotel has a lot of potential with its location, but it unfortunately falls short in several areas. The condition of the rooms leaves much to be desired, and my experience with the staff was not ideal, especially with a few rude interactions. While the facilities could be great with proper maintenance, the lack of cleanliness and comfort made for a disappointing stay overall.

Rooms

The rooms were dirty and run-down, with broken furniture and old towels. I couldn't enjoy my stay with so many things in disrepair.

My stay at the hotel was marred by several disappointments. While the location is outstanding, right in the heart of the action, the condition of both the rooms and the service left much to be desired. I encountered issues like disorganization during check-in, plus extra fees that felt unjustified given the quality received. Even though some aspects were decent, it didn't feel like a good value for the money paid.

Rooms
5.0
The room was quite rundown, with noticeable wear and tear. Mold around the shower tiles and stains on the headboard were particularly concerning. It felt minimal and not very cozy, and due to broken air conditioning, I had to keep the window open, which let in a lot of noise from the street below.
Service
5.0
The service was a mixed bag. While some staff were accommodating, the check-in process was chaotic with very slow assistance due to inadequate staffing. I also had to deal with a rude staff member who was unprofessional.
Location
9.0
The location was fantastic, placed right near the ocean with plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. It’s perfect for those looking to enjoy the nightlife, but expect a lot of noise if you’re trying to sleep.
Dining
5.0
Breakfast options were extremely basic, with pre-packaged items that felt very unsatisfactory. It definitely didn’t meet my expectations for a resort.
Facilities
5.0
The facilities felt neglected, and the elevator was out of order during my stay, which made getting to my room quite the ordeal. Overall, they need significant upgrades.

My stay at the hotel was quite a rollercoaster. While the location was fantastic, just steps from the beach and plenty of dining options, I was very disappointed with the room quality and the surprises on my final bill. I loved the ocean view, but the overall experience felt like a rip-off given the price we paid. The service could have been better too, as I dealt with grumpy staff during check-in.

Rooms
The room I was given was incredibly small and not well-maintained, with issues like bugs in the bathroom and dirty furniture. Rating: 2/10
Service

Location
The hotel's location was a major plus—close to the beach and surrounded by restaurants and shops, which made it easy to enjoy the area. Rating: 9/10
Dining
While there was breakfast available, it was just packaged items and not very appealing. I was hoping for a better selection, especially considering the overall price of the stay. Rating: 4/10
Facilities
The facilities looked outdated and not up to par with what I expected from a resort. It didn’t feel inviting or relaxing. Rating: 3/10

The hotel has a prime location near the beach and various restaurants, which is its best feature. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort. While the staff was accommodating, the overall experience was marred by poorly designed bathrooms and added costs for parking, giving it a feeling of not being worth the price.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms were somewhat simplistic and could have used more color and decor. My room was poorly designed with furniture that didn't fit well and showed signs of wear. I was disappointed with the cleanliness and maintenance overall.

5.0/10

My stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. The main issues were the unbearable noise from thin walls and a lack of cleanliness throughout the facilities. For the rate I paid, I expected much better conditions. While the location near the beach was great, it wasn't enough to redeem the experience. Overall, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

Rooms
5.0
The room I was given was dark, small, and poorly maintained, with stains on the carpet and an awful smell that was hard to ignore. The supposed upgrade did not solve the issues with cleanliness or comfort.
