Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms weren't cleaned throughout our stay, though they offered a nice view and included a small refrigerator. The living areas were spacious, but the food was overpriced. The hotel had a kitchen, living and dining areas, a bedroom, and a porch.
The hotel has some beautiful rooms despite a few issues like overheating and overpriced food. The landscape and restaurant are lovely, but there are aspects you might want to avoid as well.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was spacious with multiple bathrooms and a full kitchen, but it had cleanliness issues and uncomfortable furniture. The staff made some service errors but also went out of their way to ensure a special dining experience. The location was a bit inconvenient and far from the village, but provided access to a unique seascape. The dining was hit or miss with some cold dishes but also satisfying selections.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a living room and kitchenette, perfect for our needs. The cleanliness was satisfactory, but some aspects like urine stains and grime were noticeable. The food was overpriced, but the overall room setup was convenient.
I felt like I was diving into the abyss at this hotel with its swim-up bar and outdoor showers. The rooms were spotlessly clean and just perfect for our needs, although they were a bit dated. The service greets you at your table and was amazingly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The location's immaculately manicured lawns initially impressed me but left me feeling a bit incomplete after a few days. The dining experience, with fried jacks and the pizza, was not good, especially with everything being cold and a leak in the roof during breakfast.
I was delighted by my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and provided a lovely ocean view. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making my experience even more enjoyable. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with cold food and leaks in the roof during breakfast. The location, just steps away from the beach, was fantastic, offering a safe and immaculate environment. The facilities were well-maintained, but there were minor issues with dining amenities.
