Room was clean, however the bathroom look due for a renovation, and the water pressure was very low, and the "hot" was cold and vice versa. Staff were ok, nothing felt above and beyond, they did their job which was good. The pool looked nice, but I did not go in.

Great location, beautiful beach!!! Very friendly and professional staff.
CHARLES, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The elevator was out and they had our room in the 4th floor…We have a toddler and an infant so this wasn’t ideal. They found a room in the building that had a working elevator but it wasn’t the layout we booked. The room was fine but the ac was only in one room. One room was nice and cool while the other one was hot. The beach view was beautiful and access to the beach was super easy! The rooms were a little run down but fairly clean.
Josè, 3-night trip
