Positives: Location, elegant . Comfy beds. Nice pillows and great food and servers
Negatives: The hookers at the bar restaurant area working the guests. Was offensive to see and try to eat our meals. Their provocative attire and actions would tell about anyone why they were there. The manager in duty saw what wS going on and stood back and smiled with staff about it. After I left my dinner I discussed this matter with him and he explained why they werent removed

Manal Family with Young Children August 26, 2023
Positives: I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was not only spacious and comfortable but also impeccably clean. The hotel's ideal location made it even better. The delicious breakfast provided added to the wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, making it a truly pleasant stay overall.
Negatives: On the downside, the hotel lacks beach access, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, I found the pricing to be on the expensive side.

Positives: We bought breakfast at the coffee bar. Perfect selections for the whole family. Ate by the pool some days. Lovely. Generally, the staff was well trained and customer focused and the rooms were spacious and lovely.
Negatives: Slight musty odor in the hallways. Not all that unusual for a waterside hotel. This in no way indicates that the property was anything but pristine. Very well managed and maintained. I also thought that the nightly cost of valet parking, considering the price of renting two rooms, was excessive; however, I imagine that it is comparable to what is charged locally for a top-notch hotel.
Review
Lots of votes to return.
