A very good beachfront location but the property is old and not really well maintained. we had a bad experience with service, request for early check in was ignored, no return call from the hotel on that. So we checked in later in the evening and was told that the room is not available due to AC issue so they gave us a smaller room with a extra bed for the first night and promised to move us to our room first thing in the next morning. However upon checking with the morning staff we found out that actually someone staying at that room and they have to wait until the guest chef out before we could move in. it was disappointing so we just stayed 2 nights and cancelled the subsequent nights. Overall it wasn't really a hotel experience, I would say the experience was similar to a lodge experience.
A lot of maintenance needed.Our key didn't work, elevator under maintenance. Staff service needs to be repeatedly promoted before they react. Was quite a bad experience. Many other issues.
The staff was eager to please and sincerely tied to do their best. However, three issues really frustrated me. First, I called the hotel the day before check-in to make sure the shuttle would be ready for me when I exited the airport. When I exited the the airport, there was no shuttle for 30+ minutes. My lunch appointment cancelled on me. Second, the USB outlets in my rokm didn’t work. I was told by 3 employees it would be fixed, but it never was. Three, I killed at least TEN roaches in my room. Eight were babies, and two were grown. Unacceptable. I didn’t complain because I was already settled for the night, and I couldn’t imagine packing my things to move to another room. Would I stay here again? Probably. I liked its proximity to the beach.
