Excellent Restaurant Experience

We ate at their restaurant tonight and had a wonderful meal. The Prawns and Scallop Linguine and the Sesame Crusted Ahi entrees were both fantastic, expertly done and served quickly. Excellent food and great service made for a nice evening!

Beautiful Ocean View

We had a waterfront room on the second floor with a lovely view. The room was clean and designed with a beach/modern vibe. I loved waking up to the ocean air and view while having the patio for evening relaxation.

Impressive Gym Facilities

The gym was pretty impressive and sizable! It even included a squash ball court, which was a nice surprise, and having an open-air pool nearby was a big hit with my kids.

Kid-Friendly Environment

The open-air pool was perfect for our family, allowing our kids to burn off energy after beach time. My kids absolutely loved the overall environment and were smiling all day!

Overall, it was great value for money, especially considering the excellent breakfast and amenities available.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The atmosphere was welcoming with beachy vibes, and having a room overlooking the bay made it even more special. The clean and comfortable accommodations truly stood out. However, we faced some issues with the room key cards that dampened our experience a bit.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which has a fresh and clean ambiance. The staff were exceptionally helpful and made me feel welcome, but there were a few downsides. While the ocean view was beautiful, the hotel did have some noise issues due to its age, and the walk to the beach was not as straightforward as I had hoped. Overall, it was a comfortable experience with great customer service.

Rooms

8.0

The room I stayed in was bright and airy, with a comfy king bed. It felt recently updated, but you could hear noise from the adjoining rooms due to the building’s age.

Service

The service was particularly friendly and accommodating. Despite some initial hiccups, the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable.

Location

The hotel's location offered stunning ocean views from the balcony, but it was slightly elevated, requiring a walk down to the beach beside traffic, which was a bit disappointing.

Dining

I enjoyed breakfast while overlooking the ocean, although the selection was quite average. The views more than made up for it.

Facilities

The facilities were decent, but I did notice some wear and tear, such as missing tiles in the hot tub area.

5.6/10

The hotel has a beautiful property and a great location, but unfortunately, my room had an undesirable view overlooking the parking lot. While the staff was mostly friendly, I encountered some rude behavior during my stay. The ocean views are spectacular from certain rooms, but it feels like a missed opportunity to not prioritize these for all guests. There were also issues with basic amenities like hot water, which detracted from the overall experience.

Rooms

5.0

My room was nicely furnished but had a disappointing view of the parking lot and mechanical units. I would rate the rooms a 6/10 for their aesthetics but a 3/10 for the actual view.

Service

The majority of the staff were friendly and helpful, but I did experience some rudeness at the front desk, especially when I raised concerns.

Location

8.0

The location is right on the waterfront and offers really nice ocean views, which is a definite plus. However, I found it strange that I had to pay extra for better views despite the hotel having empty rooms.

Dining

5.0

The restaurant food was decent, but I thought it was overpriced for what was offered. I feel like dining could use some improvement.

Facilities

6.0

The pool was a nice feature, but it lacks a roof and could use some enhancements to make it more inviting.
