“Directly on the beachfront, this hotel's best asset is its location; however, certain rooms need essential updates, like more comfortable beds. Staff attentiveness is a plus, though some amenities, like having enough beach towels, can be inconsistent. Overall, the location is the true selling point, setting expectations accordingly is wise.”
