I enjoyed the stay. The breakfast was a HOT breakfast, not just some cereal in small boxes and a little milk and some donuts. The front desk had TWO people aways waiting on you. You did NOT have to wait on anyone.

Great location. Elevator can be a pain during high peak season. Pool fountain wasn’t working for us and little ones was anticipating this. My only 2 gripes. All else really good.

The breakfast unfortunately lacked flavor. Perhaps some additional elements could be introduced to enhance the experience for your guests. The coffee did not meet expectations. Royal Cup might be a suitable alternative. I would be pleased to offer five suggestions to encourage your team.

Here’s a more detailed version you can use: We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront hotel. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and well-appointed, offering plenty of room to unwind after a day in the sun. Each morning, the breakfast selection was good and varied daily, so it never felt repetitive. The location is ideal for anyone looking to relax: set in a quiet area away from the busy tourist noise, yet still close enough to enjoy local restaurants and activities. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the attentive staff and beautiful ocean views, made this a perfect place for a relaxing beach getaway.”
