My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the location is quite nice and the rooms have a cozy beach theme, I found some aspects lacking, especially regarding dining and some room features. The service was friendly, but improvements are definitely needed in some areas. Overall, it was decent but didn't quite meet my expectations.

Rooms

The location is lovely, with some restaurants nearby and a nice ambiance, but the walk from the lobby to my room in the Villas was a bit too far compared to other areas.

The breakfast this time around was disappointing. The buffet selection was unappealing, and ordering from the main menu resulted in cold food and poor service.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic, being right across from the harbor and near great dining options, my room was rather disappointing compared to the expectations set by the first visit. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the overall experience fell short due to the room quality and breakfast value.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, as it offered a nice blend of comfort and convenience. The staff, especially Jose at the reception, went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. I appreciated the spacious room, though it fell short in fully accommodating my ADA needs. The hotel's proximity to various dining options and the beach made my stay enjoyable. However, I was disappointed by the limited dining options available during my visit and the noise from events nearby.

The hotel has a lovely atmosphere and the rooms are clean, but I found the noise level unbearable for a good night's sleep.

The value for what I experienced seems off, and the decor is in need of an update.
