Decent place
The hotel is nice overall, but the room was adequate and service at times disinterested (not impolite per se, just people seemed to only want to do the bare minimum effort). The amenities were decent, but more 3 star than 4 star.

Excellent service and close to downtown bars and restaurants. However I did not like having to wear their security bracelet on my wrist. Did not appreciate the hotel visibly tagging me as a tourist.

Worth your money and the experience.
My family is very picky with hotel stays. It takes a lot to please them. This hotel checked all the blocks. The entry was tastefully decorated, elevators and hallway were clean and odorless. Room was large and clean. The sheets were pristine, and comfortable. Room is retouched daily and restocked with enough bath towels. Walking out to be back was tastefully manicured pools extending to the beach. The pools were also maintained and the workers weee attentive to our needs. It is a little bit on the pricey side but you pay for what you get. I have recommended this hotel to many of my family and friends.

Newly renovated, nice downtown hotel
The hotel just opened in Dec 2023 after a complete renovation so everything is clean and new. Lots of lounge chairs at the pool and beach which were never overly crowded, but the beach is small. Cruise ship port is next to the property so ships come and go every morning and late afternoon/early evening, but you can’t hear them. Overall great stay with friendly attentive staff.

2/10 Poor

Horrible. I have stayed here 20 times since 2005. Even the hotel staff disparages the new foreign ownership. The hotel did not process the $42 credit on two separate occasions only to have to please ten times to get refunded. My visa had $760 fraudulent charges on it where the hotel said wait 7-10 days it’s just our system we can write you a letter. The bathroom had feces on the toilet seat and hair balls on the floor. The cheese was rotten at dinner where I threw up into my towel. I will never stay here again people should be forewarned
