positive:
Convenient location.
The hotel is located right along the beach, which is ideal if you want to explore the boardwalk or go for a swim. Guests also enjoyed the fact that the city center wasn't far away and that there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.
positive:
Rooms with a view
Guests liked being able to enjoy the lovely view of the mountains or the ocean from their balcony.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Check-in not too efficient
Guests reported that their first impression of the hotel staff wasn't the best one, since the front-desk staff wasn't very fast in handling the check-in process. They also did not provide a lot of necessary information regarding the hotel amenities, leaving guests having to explore the huge property themselves or even missing out on activities altogether.
negative:
Outdoor dining not ideal
Some guests reported that trying to enjoy a meal on the outdoor terrace wasn't all that pleasant at times, since there are many flights and birds that are a bit of a nuisance.
negative:
Pool not very relaxing
Several guests pointed out that the pool is not large enough to accommodate the many guests, especially since it is also open for condo owners living around the property. They noted that there was a lot of noise, especially when parties were being held with loud music making it all but impossible to unwind.
