Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple reviews report stains on sheets and towels, musty/mold smells in dining areas, damp floors and generally dirty rooms/public spaces; clear negative sentiment.
Service
8.5
Mixed reports but overall many guests described staff as friendly, helpful and attentive; a few incidents of rudeness/unhelpfulness were reported but positive service comments dominate.
Location
10
Consistently praised for being right on the beach and very convenient for beach access; repeatedly cited as a major strength.
Room Quality
5.5
Rooms have positives (good beds, AC, some excellent views) but repeated mentions of musty smells, small bathrooms, dirty windows and dated condition lower the score.
Amenities
5
Amenities are a mix: pools and a swim-up bar are positives, but pools are often small (3 ft), some facilities broken (pool/ping-pong tables), laundry and ice machine issues and elevator rust/occasional breakdowns reduce the rating.
Value for Money
6.3
Several guests felt the property is overpriced given its dated condition and extra costs (food), though budget-friendly breakfast and beach access provide some offset.
Food and Beverage
8.5
On-site restaurant and breakfast received multiple positive mentions and standout service (specific waitstaff praised), though a few comments noted food was pricey.
Overall Experience
8.5
Many guests described a fun, comfortable stay with easy beach access, events and helpful staff; overall enjoyment is tempered by cleanliness and maintenance issues but positive experiences are common.

It was right off the beach, plenty of pools, the restaurant on site was good.

The pool outside our bedroom window was unsettling. No working ice machine. Laundry facilities could've been better.

Pros:

Very good access to the beach and also has 2 pools if you don't like the sand. Loved the swim up bar at the pool. Breakfast was standard but always good to include if you're on a budget and want to save on eating out.

Cons:

Lift did breakdown while I was here but they did fix it quickly.

I probably will not stay here again
Pros:

The AC worked great! The view was excellent

Cons:

The windows with the view was dirty. There is a long walk from the front to the back where my room was and the walk was not very attractive. The area was kinda of dirty and just did not give the resort vibe.

Hotel needs an update and a good cleaning.
Pros:

Location was close to the Beach Waterpark.

The entire structure was old and musty. Around the dining room it smelled like mold.
