    stunning ocean view
    traffic noise

    The stunning ocean view from my room truly made the stay special, adding to the overall charm of the hotel.

    The traffic noise from the main road was noticeable at night, which may disturb light sleepers.

    ocean view
    art deco
    poor maintenance

    The room provided a stunning ocean view that can't be beaten, creating a beautiful atmosphere. The decor boasted a mix of Art Deco elements, giving it a charming and distinctive character.

    Our experience was marred by a lack of proper maintenance. the carpet was filthy and gave off an overall neglected vibe. The bathroom had an open plan that might be unconventional, but it felt uncomfortable and offered no privacy. the duvet was thicker than necessary for summer, making for an uneasy night's sleep.

    awkward breakfast
    lack of service

    where do I begin? the breakfast was appalling, a mishmash of cheap cereals and murky citrus water. i also found a stain on my sheets. of course, heaving my bags up the stairs was simply delightful, but i expected someone to help me, not just stare. i almost thought about a good review, but just couldn’t.

    ocean views
    cold bedrooms
    dated bathroom fixtures

    Beautiful views of the ocean from the room.

    The bedrooms were extremely cold, lacking proper heating. The bathroom taps were dated and in need of repair. I experienced a lack of menu variety which made dining options frustrating.

    delicious breakfast
    dated bathroom

    Cozy stay with a great view!

    Spent 2 nights in a room with an amazing sea view! The staff were super friendly, even brought my daughter a birthday cake. The breakfast was top-notch too, and those special diet menu options were a nice touch. Just wish we had more time to explore the other dining options. Oh, and the bathroom could use a little TLC.

    art deco design
    exceptional service
    limited candy options

    the hotel boasts beautiful art deco design. the convenience of being right across from the beach adds to its charm. the staff were exceptional, providing personalized service that made us feel at home.

    a few more options at the candy bar would be nice. 🍬
