8.8/10 Excellent! (2,094 reviews)
This was a last-minute Expedia find as our flight was delayed to the next day. We arrived close to midnight and we were welcomed pleasantly and efficiently and our room was spacious, the beds had crisp white sheets and were very comfortable, the decor was up-to-date and it was just what we need to get to airport quickly using their free shuttle very early the next morning.

8/10 Very Good! (1,003 reviews)
The property was lovely and the area was perfect. It was easily walkable the bathroom, however, was very tiny to the point where both my husband and I had to lean over the sink to open and close the bathroom door and the waitress at the hotel breakfast place was rude.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (2,122 reviews)
Great hotel, clean, nice beds, amazing variety at breakfast. Only challenge is the design of their shower. A half curtain and a small raised floor piece on the bottom equates to water all over the bathroom floor while showering, making a mess and wasting towels to have to clean up. The supplied shower ground towel unfortunately isn’t enough as water sprays out of the shower a much greater distance due to the shower design; making extra clean up work on the guest. A shower door or full water blocking curtain would be much better. Aside from that, this hotel was excellent!

Beautiful view. Water to cold for my taste and not much of a beach area, not much you can do since the water levels are higher than normal.
