Amazing location WITH really good STAFF!

friendly staff available coffee nice snacks
The staff was really great, they gave much thought to looking after US. Coffee was always available across the hotel. This was included in the PRICE. I also liked the nice snacks in the room, also included. The ambience and calibre of the hotel were TOP.
The pictures on the website are misleading regarding the VIEWS from the hotel rooms. I booked a room with a beach and ocean VIEW. The most prominent view from inside the room was a large red brick condo BUILDING.
Service

The staff always greeted guests with a smile and was always quick to offer assistance, showing a TRUE commitment to guest satisfaction throughout MY stay. Concierge services included luggage assistance and prompt handling of requests. Attention to detail and personalised service certainly stood OUT.
