Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers basic yet clean rooms with beautiful water views of the ocean and captivating sunrises from the balcony. The rooms are starting to show their age, but the serene atmosphere makes up for it. The service was a mix of nonchalant attitudes and exceptional friendliness, but the location's convenience and proximity to various attractions stand out. The dining area was vibrant, although the offerings may lack variety at times.
The hotel offers average rooms with fantastic views of the Caribbean Sea in the 'New Tower', but the value for the price may be questionable. The service is mixed, with very friendly staff but some unfriendly encounters. The location is convenient despite some construction noise. The dining experience is decent but could be improved. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
