    great location
    poor maintenance

    The location was fantastic, right on the beach, perfect for strolls at sunrise.

    However, our room was poorly maintained, and loud neighbors made relaxing impossible during the night.

    great beach access but minimal dining options

    The beach chairs and towels were easy to borrow, making our beach days simple and enjoyable. The kids loved having boogie boards on hand to play with right on the sand.

    I would have appreciated more dining options nearby.

    Can recommend for a city holiday

    Comfortable stay, convenient location, the beach access made exploring the area easy while the 24-hour security provided peace of mind during my visit.

    Not the cleanest environment with some maintenance issues.

    view
    laid-back vibe

    The proximity to the beach is great for someone who enjoys the sun and sea. I spent my days on the sand, which made the trip special. The view from my room was a highlight, with the beach just steps away. Living in Italy, I appreciated the laid-back vibe here, even though some things could improve.

    comfy bed
    clean room
    sun loungers
    tight parking

    I had a nice stay and really enjoyed the comfy king bed and the clean room. The beach access with cozy sun loungers made it so easy to relax and soak up the sun. Just a heads up, the parking could get a bit tight during peak hours, but it didn’t ruin my overall experience! 🌞

    great location
    clean room
    squeaky floor

    Honestly, the location is spot on. You can practically trip to the beach! The room was clean and had a microwave, which was nice for late-night snacks.

    But oh dear, the floors squeaked louder than my last date's excuses! Plus, the tub had the charm of an old shoe—definitely needs an upgrade.

    water pressure
    shower issue

    Perfect beach getaway with great views!

    My partner and I stayed for 3 nights in an Oceanfront King Room, and we loved the beautiful beach view right from our balcony. The location was unbeatable and the staff was incredibly helpful, even accommodating us for an extra night due to the lovely weather. The only downside was the water pressure in the shower, which could be improved.

    mold issue
    dirty floors
    musty smell

    The location is fantastic, just steps from the beach. The oceanfront view from my room was stunning, perfect for morning coffee. The staff were friendly, making me feel welcome. However, the room itself left a lot to be desired. It had a musty smell, and I found black mold on the walls. The cleanliness was below standard with dirty floors and remnants from previous guests. The air conditioning was old and didn’t work properly, making it uncomfortable. I asked for housekeeping but didn’t see much improvement. I wouldn’t recommend staying in the lower-level rooms due to these issues.

    Perfect location for family fun

    Location is great, just a short walk to the beach with ocean views. The oceanfront double room had a balcony for relaxing. It was clean and cozy, with air conditioning and free toiletries. Staff were welcoming, offered beach chairs and sun umbrellas, and made sure we had beach badges even after check-out.
