David

United States, November 2024

7.8/10

The hotel offered a beautiful beachfront experience, and the rooms were spacious and modern. While the service was attentive, I felt the dining options, especially breakfast, could use some improvement. The facilities, particularly the pool and beach access, were excellent, making it a great choice for a relaxing getaway. However, the Wi-Fi situation wasn't ideal, as there was an extra charge for it which I didn't expect.
