This hotel could be a big letdown if you're expecting comfort and cleanliness. The location is decent, but the rooms are old, dirty, and poorly maintained. Service is lacking, as the staff doesn't seem accommodating, which adds to the frustration of the overall experience. Unless you're seeking a budget option and can overlook these issues, you might want to look elsewhere.

This resort has a vintage charm but definitely needs significant improvements to be enjoyable. The rooms are clean, but the facilities and service left much to be desired. The location right on the beach is a real highlight, but the overall maintenance is lacking, making it not ideal for a relaxing stay.

Rooms

The rooms were clean but small and outdated, making it tough to feel comfortable. My room had a balcony, which was nice but didn't fully compensate for the overall condition.

The service was hit-or-miss. While a few staff members were personable, there were times I felt ignored, especially when I needed assistance.

The resort is directly on the beach, which was fantastic for easy access to the water. Unfortunately, it's not close to other attractions, which limits options for entertainment outside the hotel.

The pool area was clean, but the laundry facilities and elevators were outdated and in poor condition. Overall, the facilities are in desperate need of upgrade.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were not only in dire need of maintenance, but the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. The highlight was the staff, who provided friendly service despite the issues. However, the amenities and overall condition make it hard to justify the price, making it a poor value for money.

I had a rough experience at this hotel, which is surprising since I expected better. There was a lot of smoking going on, which was unpleasant. The rooms were poorly maintained, and the cleanliness was definitely lacking, especially considering the price. I had high hopes, but it felt more like a letdown throughout my stay.

I was thoroughly disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The misleading photos had me expecting a decent experience, but instead, I found uncleanliness everywhere, including mold in the bathrooms and filthy floors. The room itself was in poor condition, and the service was anything but accommodating. The only plus was the overall location, which was somewhat convenient, but it definitely wasn't worth the trouble.
