Delicious On-Site Meals

The restaurant offered a diverse menu with locally sourced seafood that was fresh and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the grilled shrimp tacos, which were perfectly seasoned and served with a tangy slaw. I appreciated the convenience of dining right at the hotel after a long day at the beach.

Cozy Oceanfront Rooms

I loved the small balcony attached to my oceanfront room. It was the perfect spot to enjoy my morning coffee while listening to the waves. The room itself was well-designed with modern amenities, contributing to a relaxing stay.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were updated and comfortable, providing a nice space for relaxation. I enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff really put effort into ensuring guests were satisfied. However, I was disappointed with the condition of the pool, which could have used daily cleaning, and the bathroom size was quite cramped. Additionally, the accessibility of beach chairs was frustrating, as there were not enough available for all guests.
