I loved the location right on the beach (it was perfect for morning swims). the room was very clean upon arrival. i appreciated the lively atmosphere each night, especially the pool parties. They created a fun and energetic vibe.

The location is superb. I found convenient parking for both motorcycles and cars. The hotel has a restaurant, beach club with a pool, and the iconic ark with music and a DJ!!!
There was no phone in my room. I had to walk to the front desk each time I needed something. It was not a short walk. Instead of key cards, I received a key attached to a long plastic block.
