Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a basic room experience that lacks ambience for the rate paid, and while the historic architecture is a highlight, it may not warrant a return visit. The service was impeccable and attentive, improving the overall stay. The location is ideal for beach lovers and families but might be challenging with young children due to nearby distractions. The dining experience was impressive with delicious food options.
The hotel was overpriced with a noisy room overlooking residential houses. Yet, the staff were exceptionally welcoming and provided top-notch customer service during our stay.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortably furnished with light oak decor, providing a peaceful ambiance. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, although some areas felt a bit basic. The location was excellent with surrounding tennis courts, golf course, and pool complex, ideal for outdoor activities. The service was friendly and helpful, making my stay truly enjoyable.
