Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers a mix of positives with some drawbacks. The rooms provide a good view of the ocean and golf course but can be noisy due to their location facing the main road. The service is generally friendly and accommodating, although there were some issues with flooded carpets. The location is great for golf enthusiasts with lovely views, but the tired decor within the rooms was a letdown. The dining options have some limitations, and the lack of fresh fruits was noticeable. Overall, it's a decent choice but with some improvements needed.
The hotel offers beautiful views both of the golf course and the ocean from a clean and spacious room. While the price was high, the dated decor and lack of amenities like a toaster were noticeable. The staff were genuinely happy and delightful to deal with, providing a pleasant experience overall.
The hotel is ideally located with stunning views over the golf course and ocean, offering a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are spacious with convenient amenities, but some areas had mosquito issues. The service was attentive, although there were minor oversights. The hotel's dining options are varied but could improve with fresher choices. Overall, a great place with a few drawbacks.
