Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the ocean and offers easy access to transportation, but the area may lack excitement. The staff is accommodating, but some services could be improved. The rooms are recently renovated with modern amenities, though the price may not fully reflect the value offered.
The hotel provided a good stay overall with clean and modern rooms equipped with all amenities. The service was a bit lacking in some aspects, but the location was convenient for exploring the island. Dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.
