The hotel is conveniently located near shopping and dining options, making it easy to explore the area. While the rooms were spacious and clean, they lacked some modern touches for the price. The service was exceptional, especially during check-in, which made for a smooth beginning to our stay. However, the amenities were quite limited, and something as simple as coffee came with an extra charge, which felt a bit off for a resort spa.

While the hotel has a convenient location and friendly staff, there are several areas that need improvement. Our room was spacious and comfortable, but we did encounter noise issues and cleanliness concerns. The pool area was a highlight for the kids, but the overall experience was marred by maintenance and stocking problems in the room.

This hotel is conveniently located near shopping, dining, and just a short drive to the beach, making it an ideal spot for travelers. The rooms were spacious and appeared to be newly remodeled, which made for a comfortable stay. I really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, but there was a bit of a downside with the air conditioning noise in the room. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with friendly staff, though some hidden costs did make the price feel a bit high.
