Check in was good. No on-site laundry. Rooms open to the outside. Really close to the beach and restaurants. Pool is nice and heated. Breakfast was really good. Rooms were large and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Shower has one of those detachable shower heads that you can use as a wand. The whole angle of the thing was off and annoying. Huge closet. I'd stay again.

Great breakfast, location, and pool

Had a really good experience. Location was great and close enough to the beach that we could walk. Breakfast was one of the best continental breakfast experiences I’ve had at a hotel. Kids had lots of fun in the heated pool. The only negative was we could sometimes feel a bar when we slept in certain positions.

Check-in on time but room wasn't even ready. Front desk offered is drinks on the house which was okay. Waited 15-20 minutes but every other guess that checked in got their rooms doesn't make sense. onstruction trucks blocking entry. Shower ceiling peeling, loud and lots of traffic noise. Sliding door isn't well insulated. Breakfast eggs wasn't cooked right, clumps of wet scrambled eggs. Lol whose cooking this? Pool definitely was not heated! Expect it to be cold. Overall okay. Will I stay there again? No.
