Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with comfortable rooms and a fantastic view. Being able to combine rooms into a suite was a great option, especially with ongoing construction on the other side of the street.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean, modern, and spacious, but the thin walls made it easy to hear everything from the neighbors. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to ensure I enjoyed my stay. The location was great for quick access to the airport, beaches, and scenic walks. The dining had its ups and downs, with helpful staff but a lack of variety in the daily options.
Staying at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were comfortable and reasonably spacious, making us feel like we were in a suite. They were spacious, very tidy, and clean. The service was second to none, with staff being very professional and polite, handling any request with a smile effortlessly. The location was beautiful, with easy access to walks and beaches. The dining was great, though the breakfast could have had a better selection. Overall, a great experience.
