I had a lovely stay at this resort during my business trip. The upgrade to a garden view was delightful and the drink vouchers were a wonderful bonus. The service was quick and accommodating, despite a small issue with the air conditioning that was promptly addressed.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel during the 4th of July holiday. The oceanfront room was not just beautiful but also comfortable, making it perfect for lounging while watching the fireworks. The staff provided exceptional service throughout our stay, making us feel truly cared for. There were however some minor areas for improvement; the check-in process could be faster, and the dining options could be expanded. Overall, it was a memorable and relaxing getaway, and we are definitely looking forward to our return.
