Couple looking for a relaxing stay
The room was spacious and had a stunning view of the ocean which made our mornings feel special. Oh, and the breakfast buffet was quite impressive, with a good variety of options to choose from that kept us full for hours.
It wasn’t exactly cheap, but you expect to pay for a decent experience.

missingWrote a review on 13 Octoutstanding breakfastexceptional staff servicesmall pool areainconsistent servicelimited parking
The breakfast spread was outstanding, and staff interactions were mostly positive, with one standout employee providing exceptional service. However, the pool area was disappointingly small, and ongoing staff training seems necessary for consistent service. Parking is limited and operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, which could be inconvenient for guests during busy periods.

I had a fantastic time! The breakfast spread was superb, and I loved the view from my room. However, the photos made the room look a bit larger than it was. I'd definitely stay here again!

I recently enjoyed a fabulous night here, indulging in a delectable selection at the buffet and soaking in the stunning sea views from my room. The outdoor swimming pool was a perfect spot to unwind, and I loved exploring the beach access for long walks at sunset. Just a heads-up, I had a brief hiccup with the room setup, but it didn’t dampen my overall experience! 😊

In my wife’s opinion, the check-in process was overly complicated. It would be great for families if staff were more prepared to assist with luggage.

Spacious room, friendly staff. Luggage storage was chaotic. Good poolside options though.

The breakfast exceeded expectations with a diverse selection including freshly baked croissants, organic juices, and hot options. The room had an excellent sea view, enhancing the stay experience, and the on-site business center provided efficient support for work needs.

The hotel offers beautiful ocean views and a decent breakfast selection, but the outdated room furnishings and interrupted housekeeping were disappointing. Staff friendliness varied, with some helpful members and others falling short. It's an OK choice, but there's potential for improvement.

I loved the gorgeous sea view from my Superior Room! Also, the pool area was super relaxing and perfect to chill after a long day. They even had a spa on-site for some pampering.
Felt very comfortable, no complaint.
