Overall, my stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The location is great, with beautiful beach views and a nice restaurant setting, but the rooms were a major letdown, especially the lack of proper curtains for privacy and noise issues. The service was friendly, which was a highlight, but unfortunately, the dining experience didn't stand out. I'd say the hotel has potential but needs significant improvements, especially in the room quality and soundproofing.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is stunning, right on the beach with gorgeous views, and the staff was incredibly courteous and helpful. However, the rooms really need an update, as they didn't block out much light and were quite noisy. For me, it wasn't the most restful stay, especially on my honeymoon, which was a bummer.

The rooms need updating, especially in the older part of the hotel. The curtains didn't block any light, and one window didn't even have a curtain. It made for a really rough first night, and the noise level was just too high.

I had high hopes for my stay at this hotel, given its beachside location and some modern amenities. While the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, I faced a few challenges with the room setup, particularly around the noise and light levels. It’s a mixed bag—it’s great for location and friendliness, but not so great if you need a quiet night’s sleep.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, right in front of the beach and offering great views. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, the rooms left much to be desired; they really need some updates, and the lack of proper window coverings made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Overall, it’s a nice spot, but some improvements are needed for a comfortable stay.
