This hotel has some stunning views and great potential, but my stay was quite disappointing. The rooms were outdated and not clean, which doesn’t align with their price. The location had its perks, especially at sunset, but the service left much to be desired, making me hesitant to recommend this place.

The hotel has a beautiful layout and offers decent breakfast options, but the overall experience was marred by some logistical issues, including limited restaurant availability and unfriendly staff. While the pool area and service were commendable, the rooms left much to be desired, making it feel overpriced for what you get.

The room was old and not very clean, with a noisy and ineffective air conditioning unit. I noticed dust in the room and a few roaches in the bathroom—definitely not what I expected for the price.

Service

Service was average at best. While the pool area had friendly staff, the overall demeanor of the team felt lacking, especially during peak times like weddings, when I felt completely ignored.

The property is spacious, but getting to and from our room could be a hassle as it was a bit of a trek. The hotel is not easily accessible, and I often opted to walk to the main area, which took about 10-15 minutes.

Dining

Breakfast was included, but the food was just average and not varied enough, leaving me wishing for more options, especially considering the higher price point.

The pool area was nice, but the setup could use some improvement with more comfortable loungers. It was also difficult to find amenities due to limited dining options on-site.

The property is stunning with beautiful pools and gorgeous views, making it an appealing place to stay. However, basic amenities were lacking, particularly with the towel situation at the pool and the comfort of the lounge chairs. The restaurant options were also limited during my visit. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot with potential but could use some upgrades and better service.

The pool area was lovely, making it a great spot to relax. However, the pool chairs could use some cushions for added comfort, and I found the towel policy a bit frustrating.
