Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests praised the hotel's prime beachside location and beautiful ocean views, with some also appreciating the friendly staff and clean rooms in a few cases. However, many reviews highlighted significant issues with cleanliness, broken amenities such as the pool and elevators, and the overall rundown condition of the property. While the location remains a major draw, the hotel is in need of major repairs and better maintenance to meet guest expectations.
