na szczęście znalazłem inny obiekt
Pros:

lokalizacja

Cons:

Przyjechałem wieczorem, po godzinie 22:00. Niestety okazało się, że jeden z pokoi nie był przygotowany, a otrzymałem informację, że muszę poczekać około 1,5 godziny. Po 20 minutach pani poinformowała mnie, że może zaproponować mniejszy pokój. Gdyby nie późna pora oraz fakt, że podróżowałem z trójką dzieci, zrezygnowałbym jeszcze tej samej nocy i pojechał do innego obiektu.

Nowy hotel znaleźliśmy dopiero o godzinie 11:00 następnego dnia gdzie mogliśmy się wykąpać w cywilizowanych warunkach i w czystości (bez włosów poprzednich lokatorów). Czystość w pokoju, a w szczególności w łazience, mocno odbiegała od standardu znanego z innych obiektów. W ciągu ostatnich trzech tygodni byłem w czterech różnych obiektach i ten był zdecydowanie najgorszy pod względem jakości.

Jeśli chodzi o ogólne wrażenie, obiekt jest stary i prezentuje niski standard. Całe doświadczenie było rozczarowujące i zdecydowanie nieadekwatne do oczekiwań.

Relaxing vacation.
Pros:

Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Everyone was friendly in the restaurant and gave great service. One person In particular was extremely helpful at the front desk, Kian. If we had a question or needed help he went out of his way to help. Also the men working in the valet area were friendly and courteous.Look forward to going back.

Good hotel, poor restaurant management
Pros:

I like that it was updated and clean. I also liked that it had a small grab and go area that’s available 24/7 with snacks, drinks etc.
yes, the beach is across the street and you get great views of it and the street for video content from your room, despite your room choice based on how the hotel is setup.

Cons:

The biggest issue there was their restaurant, very unorganized and lack proper customer service. I understand it’s a small area, so time management is key BUT the bill should arrive 2x faster than my meal did (My second bite in) and I waited forever to get a server or host to assist me. 18% gratuity was added without it being earned and I honestly think that’s why they don’t care. I was frustrated because it happened throughout my entire stay there and wasn’t just a bad day.
Also, there will be an incidental hold of $125/night during check in for those who might not know.
