Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel had its highs and lows. The beachfront view is absolutely stunning, perfect for relaxation, but the noise from the helipad nearby made it hard to enjoy the peace. While the rooms were comfy, they fell short on cleanliness. Service was really disappointing; it felt like I was always waiting for assistance. The dining options were just average, and the prices felt a bit steep for what was offered.
During my stay, the hotel's ambiance was lovely, but I faced a few hiccups. The rooms were nice and romantic, just like in the pictures, but my check-in was delayed as they weren't ready by the designated time. On a positive note, the hotel's upkeep was decent overall, but I noticed some aspects that could use more attention. The dining options, while pleasant at times, lacked variety. The facilities were good, although not without their flaws.
The hotel has a few redeeming qualities, like a nice private beach right outside and generally friendly service when help is needed. On the downside, I found the rooms to be musky and the walls quite thin, which affected my stay. Also, while there is a pool and decent dining options, the overall experience didn't quite meet my expectations, particularly due to some inefficiencies in service.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the clean and comfortable rooms along with the wonderful spa amenities. The location was a real highlight, as it was just a short walk to the beach. However, the service could use some improvement, as there were a few lapses that detracted from the overall experience. The dining options were decent, but some items felt overpriced for what they offered.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the amenities were nice and the location was inviting, the rooms lacked some comfort and the dining options didn't meet my expectations. The service was generally good, but there were a few hiccups during my stay that could use some improvement. Overall, it offered decent value but has room for enhancement.
