Reviews and Ratings
I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel, which is located near some breathtaking ocean views and a short stroll from popular attractions. The staff was incredibly nice and attentive, making us feel very welcome. The rooms were clean and spacious, but I wouldn't recommend those without views, as they can be a bit unappealing. Overall, we enjoyed our time, but the dining prices felt a little steep for what we got.
