Reviews and Ratings
I chose a room facing the beautiful beach and pool for the tranquility it offered, but unfortunately, the constant loud music destroyed the peaceful ambiance. Service was great overall, with some areas needing improvement such as stopping alcohol sales when guests become unruly. The location on the bay side of the resort was wonderful, providing access to a clean white beach area and fantastic views. The dining options were extensive and excellent though slightly pricey. The facilities were top-notch, despite some minor noise disturbances.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic with clean and attractive rooms, perfect for those wanting nightly entertainment. However, the room facing the stage was a downside despite the anticipation of a breathtaking ocean view.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent with direct beach access and a good setting away from the busy beach area near Pier 60. However, the rooms, although clean and modern, were smaller than expected. The service was friendly, but some areas like the front desk seemed more focused on basic tasks rather than going the extra mile. The dining options were limited in my opinion, and the facilities were satisfactory but nothing remarkable.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic. The rooms are gorgeous, just redone to a really high standard. The spacious room featured a bright decor with a fully stocked kitchenette, an eating counter, a balcony facing the ocean, a ceiling fan, and a guest laundry in every building, making it a perfect place for a week-long stay. The fact that my room faced the street was actually nice because the nightclub is at the back of the property.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is perfect, being close to the beach and within walking distance to great restaurants. The rooms were impeccably clean and quiet, although some additional hooks for towels would have been helpful. The service was top-notch, with the staff going out of their way to ensure a wonderful stay, despite some encounters with a less than pleasant manager. The on-site entertainment added to the vibrant atmosphere, but the late-night noise could be a downside. The dining options were varied and plentiful, although a closure on Sundays was a slight letdown.
The hotel offers clean and comfy rooms with beautiful views, but be aware that the music can be loud until the early morning hours. The staff is friendly and the location is great for those looking to enjoy the beach and nightlife. The dining experience, however, may not be suitable for young children.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The staff was incredibly helpful when I informed them about the cigarette smell in the room and promptly took care of it with an extractor fan while we enjoyed drinks at the bar. However, the room tended to be either too hot or too cold and cleanliness was lacking. On the bright side, the service was exceptional and friendly, the location near the small beach area was lovely, and despite some dining drawbacks, the resort offered great amenities and a nice atmosphere.
The hotel is perfect for families with kids due to its kitchenette but lacks in outdoor sitting space. The rooms are equipped well but only have a small fridge. The service was somewhat disrupted by rowdy guests. The location offers a great party atmosphere but overlooks less appealing views. The dining options are limited for families, and the facilities are decent with room for improvement.
I chose this hotel for its beautiful beach and pool view, seeking tranquility, but the constant, overbearingly loud music totally ruined the peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were nice and clean, but the noise was a big downside. The service was extremely unfriendly and unhelpful, even leading to a car mix-up. The location was wonderful with great views, but the disruptive music played late into the night. The dining experience had a decent variety of foods but lacked some discounts for resort guests. The facilities were good overall but could use some improvements.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and had an okay view, though the side view of the roof next door was not ideal. The water views were fantastic, albeit a bit quirky with no bedside table on one side. I did enjoy a room with a balcony and a lovely gulf view.
