I loved the modern vibe and the great pool. The location is excellent, and overall it’s a fantastic stay. The only small improvement I’d suggest is updating the beach club lounge chairs, as they’re a bit worn, and possibly adding a parking partnership with a nearby parking lot.

The staff was absolutely amazing? However the room itself could use some updates and better cleaning. The balcony had a Jacuzzi however, the Jacuzzi did not have hot water. The balcony could’ve actually had better cleaning as well.

Room was clean, missing a bathroom mirror. Music from the restaurant was extremely loud until late at night keeping us awake. Beach loungers were old and falling apart.

Great location but bad service
The location was great for this hotel. However the staff was rude and dismissive. Also, a couple of our rooms were not thoroughly cleaned even after mentioning to cleaning staff that there was a roach in the room.
