the location was acceptable, providing easy access to nearby attractions.
The room i booked, a beautiful double room two double beds, was far too small for two people. the walls are thin, so noise from other guests disturbed me. I am concerned about its maintenance.

great locationpoor soundproofingbathroom storage
The location was great, right on Ocean Drive.
The room was small and lacked proper soundproofing. I could hear conversations from the hallway quite clearly. The bathroom was especially disappointing. It had no storage space for toiletries. This lack of functionality.

really good locationcomplimentary beach bedsvodka pennesteep price
I found the location really good. It provided convenient access to various attractions. complimentary beach beds via esteban's place and towels enhanced my beach outings. i particularly enjoyed the penne alla vodka and chicken pesto panini, the food was great.
the price for the room was a bit steep. however, we were robbed by their transfer service driver. i tried to contact the manager by emails, yet never received an answer. so, i advise you to not use that transfert service and find a cheaper alternative.
