My husband and I have enjoyed staying at this hotel for years, thanks to its cleanliness and perfect location across from the beach. The views and live music offered at the restaurant bar definitely make our trips special. However, the room temperature dropped significantly during our last visit due to some wear that allowed a draft, which was a drawback. Overall, we value the warm service and ambiance that keeps us coming back.

We just returned from a weekend getaway at this hotel, which offers beautiful ocean views and a nice, clean room. While the beds were a bit too firm for my liking, we appreciated the hotel's proximity to the beach. The staff was generally friendly, but we had some frustrations when it came to housekeeping and room flexibility. Overall, if you adjust your expectations from a full resort experience, you might find a decent value here.
