The property is just what you would expect for this area, the room was small but as are most rooms on this area. We really liked how quiet it was yet close to all the action and the walk to the beach was so easy and great amenities to have two chairs and an umbrella included in the room rental. Staff was so kind!

This property is nothing like the pictures. The room we received, booked at USD 700 per night, was in a terrible state: broken tiles, a stained duvet, a broken side table, no hand soap, and a non-functioning phone to contact the front desk. The corridors reeked of unpleasant odors, and the carpets throughout the hotel were heavily stained. The staff were shockingly rude. When we politely raised our concerns about the condition of the room, their response was, “No one is kept hostage here. You can leave the hotel whenever you want.” This suggests they are accustomed to complaints and have a standard dismissive reply, which is unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one charging such exorbitant rates. For a price comparable to the city’s finest 5-star accommodations, this hotel is nothing short of a scam. The cleanliness was appalling, and the level of customer service was the worst I’ve ever encountered. This property should be classified as a motel and adjust its rates accordingly. The images advertised are highly misleading and do not reflect reality. I documented all the issues mentioned and would have attached the photos if this platform allowed it. Avoid this accommodation at all costs—it can truly ruin your trip.

They charge an exorbitant resort fee and calling this a “resort” is a huge stretch of the imagination. This is basically a Motel 6 on South Beach.

The property is 2 min walk away from the beach. There is a area with chairs and umberellas for the hotel guests. Staff were very friendly. My room was very clean and renovated. There is a very small pool that you can use. They will also give you bikes to use. There is a area on the roof with loungers that you can chill . My only issue was that I wasn't getting proper wifi signal in my room. It was a bit slow but it was still working. If you're looking to have a relaxing stay, this hotel is for you. It is around 10 min walk from the busy restaurants and crowd. I had an amazing time staying here . Not a party hotel so it's perfect for people who want to do some work or families.
