Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly spectacular! The rooms were amazing; special thanks to Dominic for the cool jetski adventure and Rose for the incredible Escape Room fun. However, there were issues with maintenance response in the Paradise Suite, and that could have been better for a honeymoon trip.
This hotel is a hidden gem, tucked away near a stunning beach with friendly staff. Despite some rooms needing a bit of a refresh, the overall atmosphere is peaceful and perfect for relaxation. The dining options are satisfactory but could use some improvement to cater to all tastes.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were big enough with a nice ocean view, but they had a slight smell and some issues with the AC that took a while to fix. The service, on the other hand, was outstanding with friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. The location was ideal for beach access, but the distance from the city and the poor road condition affected travel. The dining options were good but not exceptional. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel had its ups and downs. On one hand, the rooms were over-and-above our expectations with a very clean environment; however, we faced issues with maintenance during our honeymoon trip. The initial complaint about a shower not working was not promptly addressed, and the overall room experience was disrupted by a strong smell of bleach upon arrival.
The hotel offers breathtaking views of the amazing pool and blue ocean. The rooms, although equipped with necessary amenities, are in need of a refresh. The service provided is friendly but lacks a professional touch. The location, while lovely and free of hassle, is a bit isolated from the main attractions. The dining experience offers a good variety but with some dishes not up to par. Overall, it's a decent option but may need some updates.
I had a great time staying at the hotel. The rooms offered a beautiful view overlooking the beach on the first level, though showering small children was a bit challenging without a bath. The Paradise Suite was fantastic.
