The hotel is in a perfect location, just a short walk from great restaurants and away from the bustling main road. The rooms offer stunning ocean views, especially from the balconies. While the service was hit or miss, and the breakfast could definitely use improvement, overall it's a lovely resort worth recommending for its ambiance and setting.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to have a great location, being an easy walk to the main town and with beautiful views along the waterfront. Unfortunately, my room was right above the bar, making it quite noisy at night. The staff was friendly and helpful, but there were some issues during dining that caused confusion. Overall, it's a decent choice, but keep in mind the noise levels in certain rooms.

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel, with spacious rooms that, while slightly dated, were well-appointed. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, but I found the dining experience lacking, especially with cold food three days in a row. The location was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views and easy access to the main town. Overall, it's good value for the price, just a few improvements could elevate the experience.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were spacious and well-appointed but felt a little outdated with the terracotta tiles. I wish there had been a power point near the bed for my CPAP machine, and the louvred bathroom door didn’t offer much noise privacy.

Service

The staff was friendly and approachable, but I was disappointed that they cleared the buffet without checking if anyone needed anything first. They were quick to inform us about room availability, though.

Location

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The location was fantastic, close to the marina and easy to walk into town. The rooms were comfortable, but I found some aspects not ideal, especially with scaffolding obscuring the view. The staff were mostly friendly and helpful, though there were a few slip-ups in customer service. Dining could be improved with more variety at breakfast, and while the facilities were decent, they could use some updates.

I had a pretty nice stay at this hotel. The location was great, just a short walk to the beach and some attractions. While the rooms were clean and the views were beautiful, I was a bit disappointed by their size and the lack of a balcony. The service was friendly and helpful, especially when I needed a quiet space for a 4 am meeting. However, the breakfast options were pretty limited and didn’t change during my stay, which was a letdown.

Rooms
