Delicious Poolside Delights

The poolside food service was fantastic! I loved being able to order a refreshing cocktail and tasty snacks without leaving my lounge chair. It made our beach day feel even more luxurious and relaxing.

Perfect Pool Temperature

The temperature of the pool was just right during our visit. It was warm enough to enjoy a dip even on a cooler day, making it a refreshing escape after lounging on the beach.

Stunning Retro Decor

Our room was beautifully decorated in a retro style, which added a unique charm to our stay. The high-end finishes and comfortable bedding allowed for a cozy atmosphere that we truly enjoyed.

Effortless Beach Experience

Renting chairs and umbrellas through the hotel was seamless. We simply ordered through the app, and everything was set up for us by the time we reached the beach. It really enhanced our day by removing the hassle.

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

Red

United States, January 2025

6.6/10

We had quite a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was fantastic with easy beach access and beautiful ocean views, the rooms left much to be desired, particularly due to maintenance issues. Furthermore, while some staff provided excellent service, there were times when we felt neglected. Dining options were decent, but somewhat pricey. Overall, it had potential, but significant improvements are needed to enhance the stay.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms had serious maintenance issues such as broken windows and peeling wallpaper, which detracted from our comfort.

Service

5.0

Service was hit or miss; while the beach staff were attentive, our calls for room service often went unanswered.

Location

9.0

The location is ideal, being right by the beach and close to local attractions.

Dining

7.0

Dining was okay, with a variety of options, but the prices felt high considering the quality.
