Very nice Ocean View

Waking up to the amazing views from the oceanfront balcony was an experience I'll never forget. The large windows allowed plenty of natural light, making the room feel warm and inviting. The overall ambiance was perfect for a peaceful getaway.

7.2/10

The hotel has stunning ocean views and spacious rooms, making it great for relaxation. However, cleanliness and maintenance seem to be neglected, as we found some unacceptable conditions in our suites. The dining experience was delightful with superb service, though minor improvements could enhance the overall experience. While the location is convenient, the cleanliness issues couldn't be overlooked.
