I recently enjoyed a two-night stay at this lovely hotel, where I received a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite that made my experience even better. The grounds are beautiful, but some areas seemed a bit dated. The breakfast provided a variety of choices, although some food quality could be improved. Overall, it was a delightful stay with just a few minor issues to address.

The stay was wonderful, with breathtaking ocean views from our large apartment every morning. The room was modern and comfortable, making our time there truly enjoyable. While the breakfast served was decent, I found the coffee experience lacking. The pool area was nice but slightly chilly, and a car might be necessary for exploring the surrounding areas.

This hotel has a prime location right on the beach, which makes it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor facilities, including the pool and sports fields, are impressive, and the atmosphere is tranquil. However, the service could use improvement, especially in dining and responsiveness to maintenance issues.
