After a rough check-in, we received a warm reach-out from management and the rest of our stay was excellent. Great facilities, great location, friendly staff, clean, etc. Maybe some kinks to work out still with transition of ownership, but we’d stay again for sure.

Maria

Excellent renovation, grounds, beach amenities and pool bar food, drinks and service. An onsite spa would make it much more enjoyable. Security can be improved as the property is open to outside guests, add security access via card readers in elevators and allow access to locals via a charge for a daily pass to use amenities. While the town is relatively safe, there’s opportunity for increased vigilance and improved guest experience from that perspective.

The property was extremely well maintained, we truly enjoyed the well kept grounds between the building and the beach. The landscaping contained a wonderful variety and was in full color gorgeous. All the staff was extremely courteous and friendly. It was unfortunate that the pool was closed due to "mechanical issues." We would stay again.
