Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were equipped with a fridge, microwave, and kitchenette, which was a nice touch, although they could use some updating. The service was courteous and friendly, with staff always ready to help, though some aspects felt less than fully professional. The location was fantastic, being very central with easy access to the beach, convenience stores, and great dining options within walking distance. The dining experience was average, with the hotel under construction, affecting some amenities. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel staff was incredibly helpful and friendly during my stay, making me feel welcome. However, the air conditioning in the room was old and noisy, affecting my quality of sleep. The location was superb, with beautiful landscaping and an oasis-like feel, but the customer service was lacking in some areas.
The hotel's location is perfect with easy access to the seafront and nearby convenience stores and restaurants, making it ideal for a relaxing holiday. The rooms, though small and noisy due to traffic, could benefit from updated decorations. The service was a mix of fair and pleasant experiences, while the dining options were limited. Overall, the hotel provides a convenient location for those looking to unwind.
The hotel had a lovely Hawaiian feel in its nicely decorated rooms located above the pool and restaurant facilities. The large, clean bathroom was perfect for our needs, although the pricing could be better. The service was top-notch, always ready to assist with any questions or IT help, and the laundry and tours/ticket assistance were an added plus. The fabulous location, right in the heart of shopping and a quick walk to the beach, was a major highlight, but some may find it a bit noisy. The dining experience, which included Indonesian dishes, was satisfactory, but improvements could be made. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, although parking was an additional cost.
The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and various amenities. The rooms were clean and neat, though there was a slight foul odor. The staff was friendly and attentive to our needs, enhancing the overall experience. However, the dining experience was subpar due to ongoing construction. The hotel offers good value for the price compared to other options nearby.
I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, modern, and clean, providing a great level of comfort. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, the dining options were a bit limited, which was a minor downside. The location was perfect, close to the beach and various amenities, offering convenience and ease of access.
