Reviews and Ratings
The hotel gave us mixed feelings. While the rooms were hot and somewhat hectic, the upgrade option didn't seem ideal for a young couple like us. However, the friendly staff tried their best to please despite being short-staffed. The location had its ups and downs but offered a relaxing experience for premium guests. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown, but the facilities were decent overall.
The hotel truly felt like a piece of Paradise for the whole family with spotless surroundings and well-maintained grounds, offering a friendly, responsive, and professional service. However, the lack of smiles from the team was a downside throughout the day. The location was a good starting point for activities, although a bit far from the beach. The dining experience left much to be desired with limited, warm food options. The facilities felt clean and comfortable, contributing to the overall pleasant stay.
The hotel had lovely rooms but was quite noisy due to the automatic sliding doors. The service was a mix of friendly and helpful staff but with some issues like loud entry in the morning. The location was bustling but offered a great view and was good for nightlife. The dining experience had excellent choices but could be crowded during peak times. The facilities were satisfactory overall. The price was fair for what was offered.
