loved my room, no view unfortunately, unfortunately waiting time to check in was unacceptable, people were angry and looked like check in process is way to slow. Besides unhappy check-in time, hotel was nice, rooftop restaurant seems overly expensive, so our group went yo food options in city. Breakfast was great, good selection of food.

The unrenovated rooms are on the bottom floors. They are not sound proof. You can hear everything from neighboring rooms as well as the music blasting from the beach bars all night long. The rooftop is nice, but there’s mold in the pool. Can only recommend the breakfast.
