Over rated.
Hotel has done a lot of cost cutting and labor reduction causing service and hotel upkeep to be low. I would not stay here again.

I love its location coz it’s beach front plus the nice landscaping around the hotel but the only concern is the bathroom needs update.
I enjoyed my stay overnight though.
Thank you.

The property itself is very pretty and well maintained. The service, especially by the dining staff, is subpar. I opted to eat off property most days due to this. The room AC is loud, but does work well, and the showers do have a rain shower head, which is nice. Room towels, bottles of water, and room cleaning was inconsistent.

Booked an overnight staycation for my parents 50th anniversary. They truly had a great time. Staff were very helpful and they enjoyed the buffet as well.
