Delicious Live Music

The onsite bar and grill offered a good selection of meals with live music playing in the background, creating a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. The food was fresh and flavorful, perfect for unwinding after a long day at the beach. I particularly enjoyed the variety of drinks available, adding to the fun of our evenings.

Fantastic Kitchenette

Staying in a room with a kitchenette was a game changer for our family. We were able to prepare simple meals and snacks whenever we liked, which significantly enhanced our overall experience. It was convenient to have access to a fridge, microwave, and cooking essentials right in our room.

Great Pool Area

The large outdoor pool was perfect for our family and had a great temperature! It was spacious enough for both the kids to splash around while I relaxed on a lounger nearby. It turned out to be a great way to spend our afternoons in the sun!

Convenient Amenities

I loved that our room had a full-size kitchen. It made family dinners convenient and enjoyable. The kitchen was well-equipped with utensils and pots, allowing us to prepare easy meals without needing to eat out every night. What a nice touch for a vacation!

8.8/10

I had a pleasant experience at this hotel overall. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach, and I enjoyed the lively atmosphere at the Coconuts bar. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but I did encounter some noise disturbances during my stay, which affected my comfort. The amenities such as the pool and the restaurant were enjoyable, but my only downside was the inconsistency in the maid service tending to our room.
