Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has a very strategic location, close to a shopping center and surrounded by many affordable eating places. The rooms are of good size, well-furnished with modern amenities, but some were not clean. The service is friendly, helpful, and professional. The dining experience is yummy with helpful staff and a good location.
I couldn't have asked for a better location; this hotel is surrounded by markets, massages, and all the shopping spots you could wish for. The room, with a standard window view, surprised me with its space and the most comfortable bed and pillows. However, you need to pay extra for a sea-facing room, which is a bit of a downside.
The hotel offers clean and tidy rooms with a fairly good view, although the dining experience and location have some drawbacks. The service was very nice and accommodating, except for the receptionist during check-in.
My stay at the hotel was superb thanks to its fantastic location near the beach and various dining options. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, while the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. However, the Wi-Fi was not included in the price, which was a minor inconvenience.
The hotel's location is fantastic, with easy access to the waterfront and many shops and eateries, but cleanliness could be improved. The rooms offer a mixed view of the city and ocean, and the noise from a nearby nightclub can disturb light sleepers. Service is friendly but lacks some knowledge. Dining is well-recommended, but may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues. The facilities need some attention to detail. Good value for the sea view rooms.
