I had a rather mixed experience at this hotel. The beach access was fantastic, and the Tiki bar atmosphere was really lively, perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. However, the room I stayed in could definitely use a deep cleaning and some updates; it wasn't as fresh as I had hoped. The service was friendly and accommodating, but I felt that the overall experience didn't quite justify the price I paid.

The room smelled musty and was definitely in need of a deep clean and some updates. It just felt worn down.

The location was great; just a short walk to the beautiful beach, and the shuttle made exploring nearby areas really convenient.

Dining felt a bit expensive for what was offered, but the options around were decent.
Facilities

The facilities had potential, but some areas felt outdated. The Tiki bar was a highlight though.
