Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
The view of the Ocean and the beach was great, as was the location. But the floor in the main bedroom had been wet at some point and had started it lift, making it very unsafe. The bathrooms had been renovated recently, but the shower shelf hadn't been replaced, meaning saop, shampoo etc had to go on the floor.

If you are looking for somewhere fancy to stay, this accommodation is not for you. BUT if you are looking for unparalleled ocean views thats family friendly and close to everything, this is definitely the place for you. Sure its old and seen better days, but the plus side is its roomy, has everything you need and super friendly staff. We will 100% stay there again.

The front counter staff are absolutely lovely and so helpful. However, I paid for a deluxe ocean view room and it was terrible, I have previously paid for an ocean view room at the same hotel and had a much better apartment.

location good

The location of the hotel is very good, but because the hotel rooms are old, the smell of old carpets and old furniture will become very unpleasant, and the room cleaning is not very clean. When I checked in, I found black spots on the pillowcases.
