My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right next to the beach with great views and easy access to recreational activities. The rooms were spacious and had a large safe, but the cleanliness could be improved. The service was professional and customer-focused despite some initial confusion with my card. The dining experience left much to be desired, leading me to seek better options nearby. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

5.0/10

The hotel had a convenient location close to Dumsers and a short walk to the beach with a great view. I enjoyed the availability of kayak rentals downstairs and the ample parking. However, there was an issue with mold. The spacious room felt safe overall with good parking options.

Rooms

The room I was assigned was street-side, leading to noticeable road noise due to thin walls. The vent being see-through was a privacy concern.

Service

Despite several complaints, the staff was not apologetic and even acted rudely, yelling in front of other guests. On the positive side, I appreciated the presence of two pools and a private bay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not so good experiences. The location was perfect, close to Seacrets and the beach, but the room in the North building was a bit dated and noisy due to neighbors partying all night. The service was friendly, but some staff seemed overworked. The dining experience was okay, although a bit expensive for what was offered.

Rooms
