This was the worst hotel and customer service I have EVER experienced in my life!!!!! The staff was not understanding and booking through trip was a disaster. I booked “beach front” through trip.com and the hotel say “standard” even though my receipt and confirmation said “beachfront”. Not only would the hotel not honor it, trip.com neither the hotel can switch rooms or issue a refund. Instead I was told by the front desk to “not book third parties” and can pay the difference for another room. Once trip.com decided to issues a refund by giving points, the staff then said “you checked in already, you can’t switch rooms”,and that “no refund can be issued” as if the room I booked through trip.com was the right now.

Great stay! We had a room with a kitchenette and two queen beds. The room was spacious, and everything was clean. There was a full sized fridge and a 4-burner stovetop. The beds were so comfy! The room was a little bit older, but everything was functional and served it’s purpose. The property was quiet and family oriented. The only semi-complaint was that the pools were freezing. Obviously, most of that was due to it not being super hot yet, but even the hot tubs weren’t very warm. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to enjoy the indoor pool because that one was like ice. But again, if the weather would’ve been warmer, it probably wouldn’t have been so cold. Would definitely stay here again!

It's right in front of the sea, and the service from the hotel staff was great! However, the building was old and smelled damp. There was a large refrigerator in the room, and the breakfast was delicious and you could choose from the pancake shop menu!

September Vaca 2025 I have a three year old daughter and she had the kiddie pool to herself the whole stay! She did finally learn to swim with her floatation device last night (the last night of our stay). The beds were neat and cleaned, and comfy toppers. It was overall great stay with great weather!

The restaurant was never open. The walk to the beach was convenient and close. The room was clean and very roomy! I liked the beach pictures on the wall!
