Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located right on the beach with beautiful views and scenery, offering a great spot for a quiet weekend getaway. The rooms, while comfortable for the price point, could benefit from updating, especially the bathrooms. The service was friendly and informative, although some areas like the pool maintenance and restaurant staffing could use improvement. The dining experience, although with pricey buffet options, had room for enhancement with cold and hard pancakes. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money with its amenities and location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were clean and certainly adequate, they were on the small side and in need of updating. The service, on the other hand, was great, with some standout staff members like Brittany and Thomas. The location was beautiful but a bit icy, and the dining options were diverse and delicious, though not worth the high price tag.
The resort offers a beautiful location right on the ocean, with well-maintained grounds and inviting pools. However, the dining experience fell short with limited breakfast options and inaccurate information on pricing for meals.
