Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and fully equipped, but the air conditioning units were loud, and the location, though close to popular areas, was not the most comfortable. The service was lacking, with some rude interactions, especially with the Haitian young lady. Despite some positives like the nice dining experience, there were issues with the facilities overall.
My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants. The rooms, though clean and adequate, had some downsides like being too small and dark, while the service was inconsistent, with some staff members being rude. The dining experience was a hit or miss, and the facilities were decent overall.
