6.0/10
My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The location is decent, right off the beach, but the rooms are terribly outdated and in desperate need of refurbishment. The service wasn't helpful, making it frustrating to address issues. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it due to the condition and service issues, especially considering the high price.
Rooms
5.0
The room was smaller than expected, tiny and outdated, and it smelled musty upon entry. It really needs a fresh coat of paint and new flooring to feel more inviting.
Service
5.0
The service was incredibly frustrating. The front desk was understaffed, leading to long wait times, and when I had issues, it felt like no one was really there to help.
Location
6.0
The hotel is conveniently located right off the beach, making it nice for quick access, but it isn't close to the main attractions which could be a downside.
Dining
5.0
Dining options were extremely expensive for very mediocre food, so I didn't find it worth the cost.
Facilities
5.0
Facilities were lacking; the overall maintenance was not up to standard and contributed to an uncomfortable stay.
