Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing! The location was incredible, surrounded by the ocean and with breathtaking views of the illuminated bridge at night. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The dining experience was delightful, with complimentary pastries and the option to enjoy meals directly on the beach. However, despite multiple assurances, the late checkout of the room was a bit of a letdown.
The hotel was within easy reach of the ocean, but my room was smaller than expected and wasn't ready until late in the afternoon. Despite the high price, the experience fell short in terms of room readiness and size.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although promising a late checkout, weren't ready until 4:30 pm, which was disappointing given the high price per night. On the bright side, amenities like reasonably priced wine and a ready-to-use coffee machine were appreciated.
