Kevin at the front desk was very informative about the Hotel, rooms and amenities.

Phillip Australia

The ocean front rooms have been updated since we last stayed at this hotel. Bathroom and decor is great. Room was very comfortable. The balcony was well furnished and comfortable for watching the beach, ocean, and people.

Willie United States of America

The hotel staff was excellent ! The rooms were clean and the bed was so comfortable

Deedee United States of America

location was right across from the ocean and within walking of lots of restaurants and the funk zone.

Laura United States of America

Good location. Room was very large, with nice sitting area and separate desk area. The bathroom was large and very nice, especially the shower. There was a balcony with seating

Allan United States of America

The location is great. We had an oceanfront room and it was bright and had great views. The weather was cold when we were there, so we were in the room more than if it did were warm.

Fox United States of America

Location, cleanliness, service, spacious rooms and a bathtub.

Julia United States of America

Room was very spacious. It was very clean, veritably new. Particularly liked the spacious bathroom. The bed was very, very comfortable. Everything worked as expected. The view was not exceptional but it was just fine. We don't spend that much time in the room anyway so the view is not that important to us. The location was terrific; very close to restaurants, wine tasting rooms and other attractions.

Sandor United States of America

A beautiful property! The room was spacious and clean. I loved the bathroom with the deep tub and the very hot shower.

Leigh United States of America

Location is unbeatable. Room was recently remodeled and nicely done with good sheets, towels etc. Staff were great Pool and hot tub area is lovely.
