My stay was quite disappointing overall. The hotel really needs extensive renovations, and my first room had several issues, such as a broken towel rack and unreliable air conditioning. However, the balcony offered nice views, and the location was decent, with a short walk to town. It's hard to justify the price given these concerns.

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel with a stunning view of the marina and ocean from our upgraded spa room. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our romantic weekend extra special. On the downside, I did encounter a few issues with the accommodations, particularly with cleanliness and some worn features. Overall, I would recommend this place for a getaway, but it could use some improvements.

I stayed at this resort expecting a relaxing getaway, but I encountered a mix of comfort and disappointment. The friendly managers were a nice touch, and the room was generally clean and comfortable. However, I was let down by the lack of proper amenities like air conditioning and an unusable outdoor spa. The view was decent, but not what I had anticipated. Overall, it's a fair spot, but definitely not what I'd consider a special experience.

My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. While the reception staff were genuinely friendly and the room was clean and equipped with everything I needed, the experience was somewhat marred by a few issues. The hotel is a bit dated but offered a nice balance of quietness while still being close enough to enjoy the nightlife. Overall, I would say it’s decent value for money, though some improvements could be made in service.

7.0/10

The stay at this hotel was quite enjoyable overall due to its great location and convenience. The apartment offered a lot of value, especially when booked directly. However, some amenities were out of order and the room could use a refresh. The lack of proper curtains for the bright light from the stairs was also a downside. Despite these issues, I would still recommend it for its location and value.
