Everything was very clean and neat. Amazing city and water views from my balcony. The staff was super attentive and welcoming. Perfect location, easy walk to anything. I would definitely stay here again.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (507 reviews)

The reception area doesn't look very nice, but once you go inside the property and grounds, it's another world. The property grounds were beautiful with good amenities like a spa, gym, and pools. There is a pool bar and a restaurant on-site. Parking was free and plentiful. The room we stayed in was spacious with a large balcony to enjoy the ocean view and to have a glass of wine with the lovely ocean breeze. Very good options for breakfast. The area is quiet and right across the end of a beach. All in all, a very nice stay. I would consider staying here again if I come back to the area.
