5.0/10

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were poorly designed and lacked basic maintenance, which made it feel unwelcoming. On a positive note, the check-in process was smooth thanks to a helpful staff member. However, I wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience.

Rooms

The room was quite large but poorly designed with louvre sliding doors that provided no sound privacy. I felt like I was in a glorified studio, and the view from the first floor was blocked by a canopy.

The hotel is in a fantastic location with plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The views from the rooms were lovely, but the property overall seems to be a bit worn out and in need of renovations. The service could be hit or miss, with some staff being helpful while others lacked knowledge about the area. Overall, it feels like the hotel needs a refresh to match the beautiful surroundings.

Rooms

The room was a decent size with a small kitchenette, offering lovely views. However, the bed was too hard for my liking, and the furniture felt a bit outdated.

Service was mixed; while one staff member was accommodating, others seemed uninformed about the local area, making it a less than ideal experience.

Location

The location is perfect for exploring the area, right near attractions, but can get noisy due to nearby carnival-type activities during the summer.

Facilities need some work, especially concerning repairs and cleanliness. The pool was not heated, and we had to bring our own towels.

I stayed for a few nights and while the hotel is in a nice location with a great pool, it shows its age. There were some maintenance issues, like lifts not working, and smoking allowed on balconies which made it uncomfortable at times. Overall, it was an okay stay, but definitely not up to the standards I expected.

I had high hopes for this hotel, but my stay was quite disappointing. While the location is excellent and close to shops and restaurants, the condition of the rooms and lack of cleanliness was a major letdown. The service was friendly and helpful, but the outdated facilities and poor housekeeping made it hard to enjoy my time there. Overall, it's not worth the cost, especially considering the poor Wi-Fi and extra fees for parking.

6.2/10

I had high hopes for my stay, especially with a beautiful ocean view, but it was marred by a rundown property and a frustrating check-in experience. The views were stunning, yet the room was in need of maintenance, such as a broken screen door and a dirty stove. The staff was polite but the lack of communication about the parking situation made it incredibly inconvenient. Overall, it seemed overpriced for the quality provided.
