What the reviews say
The breakfast buffet is what women keep mentioning, and the front staff backs it up, consistently described as helpful and warm. Cockroaches were found in at least one room, and the lifts were out during renovations.
- The breakfast buffet as a standout, with one noting the addition of an ice cream and slushy machine and praising the chef team specifically.
- Staff across the entire building, from reception to cleaning crew to cafeteria workers, were consistently friendly and helpful.
- One reviewer noted the hotel is a three-minute walk from the beach, describing the location as genuinely beachfront.
- A reviewer staying during renovations flagged that the lifts were out of service, making the trek to the third-floor Food Hall a challenge.
- One woman reported a non-functioning air conditioner and a wet floor in her room, and noted aggressive car guards in the parking area directly outside the hotel.
- The hotel sits directly on the beachfront, with the beach reachable in about three minutes on foot.
- Ongoing renovations at the time of these reviews meant lifts were out of service and the reception area was incomplete.
- At least one room had a non-functioning air conditioner, a wet floor, and cockroaches were reported in the family room.
- The elevator is described as a tight squeeze, though reviewers did not consider it a serious problem when it was operational.
- The breakfast buffet was consistently praised across multiple reviews, with reviewers noting the hotel maintains and improves its food standards.
