I stayed at this hotel and it was a mixed bag. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and nearby attractions, which I loved. I had a couple of interactions with the staff, some were delightful, especially the bartenders, but others left a bit to be desired. Unfortunately, my room had some cleanliness issues that put a damper on my experience, and I missed having in-room coffee. The pool area is lovely and well-kept though, perfect for relaxation.
