The hotel was in a good location handy for shops, restaurants and the beach front. I felt safe in the area. My only dislike was breakfast which was a bit of a free for all. Tables not tidy and having to clean the table myself.

Wonderful location, nice staff and perfect view.
A very nice place to stay! Close to the waterfront and main restaurants. The hotel is super clean, new rooms, beautiful view (ocean view room) and the staff is very friendly. My flight was very early and we left the hotel at 5am. So they prepared a lunch box for my family since breakfast opens at 6am. Thanks for all.

Great overnight stay
Amazing views from the 17th floor. Comfy bed and a nice large room which helped since we had 2 huge suitcases. Easy parking, friendly staff.

Location was excellent.
Service not up to standards for a Radisson property. Some of the Check-in staff not the most helpful or friendly.
Manager was quite helpful, cant say the same for some of the other staff.

Awesome view and service
The service was impeccable. The staff greeted me by name before even providing my booking. Throughout the stay staff were friendly and helpful. The views are gorgeous .Slight improvement could be made such as placing the curtain on the opposite side to maximise the view and having a square toilet seat on a square toilet. Would recommend.
