"Nice family trip to the beach. The condo was spacious and the primary bedroom was fantastic. The other two bedrooms were small, but were still accommodating. The property is very well maintained. There’s paths to walk on for a nature walk and the beach has some hard sand that makes long walks on the beach very easy to do. There were 6 of us that went and there was plenty of space. Great stay!"

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good
"The room was next to the road so you can all the noise from the outside. I’m glad I brought my earplugs or it would have been an incredibly shtty night Staff was meh; did the bare minimum. A little bit disappointed how I had to ask multiple questions in order for them to help me store my temp-sensitive medicine - she was not helpful at all. No air conditioning which is fine - but they could have offered a fan. I did not know we could request a fan until I read reviews of the property. They could have given us that option upon checking in. We never tried the breakfast - I read it was meh. The least they could do was provide hotel slippers - do they expect guests to walk around the bathroom with shoes on? How about the living room and bedroom area? Disposable slippers should be the bare minimum"
