Location
1
Location and proximity to the beach/ocean view are frequently praised (perfect location, ocean-view rooms) — clearly a strong positive for guests.

きれいなビーチやクリアな海そして美しいサンセットをみれたので満足
Pros:

ビーチへ行きやすく満足しました。

Cons:

タオルやアメニティが部屋に備え付けてあるとなおよい。
若者が多く、夜まで音楽が聞こえてちょっと騒がしかった。

Amazing place for a weekend getaway
Pros:

I LOVEEDDDD my room, best part of my stay other then the beach!! Amazing view with the corner extended balcony with two sliding doors!! I recommend room 361 for couples!

Cons:

The hotel itself could be a little more clean. The hallways and carpet were a bit dirty but mostly just sand in the carpets which is understandable because the beach is literally right when you walk outside
