The hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were well-appointed and clean, but disappointingly, the promised ocean view was lacking. The check-in experience was subpar with no satisfactory explanation for the room allocation issue despite paying extra for a sea view.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the ocean view from the room was barely visible, the check-in process was not smooth, and we weren't given a satisfactory explanation for not having a higher floor despite paying more for a sea view. The room we were allocated initially was not in the best condition, with grime on surfaces and the toilet. However, the service was friendly and attentive, catering well to our needs and requests.

7.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed experience. The room had comfortable bedding and a great shower with amazing views to the ocean, but the disappointment came from barely being able to see the ocean as expected. The check-in experience was poor, and we were not given an explanation as to why we couldn't get a higher floor despite paying extra for a sea view.

Rooms

7.0

The room was equipped with comfortable bedding and a great shower offering amazing views to the ocean. Unfortunately, I could barely see the ocean from my room and the air conditioning wasn't working properly, leaving the room sticky and muggy every night.

Service

6.0

The staff at the hotel were a mix of experiences. While some were absolutely kind and polite, offering great overall services, there was one unprofessional hotel manager that stood out as the most unprofessional I've ever come across.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is fantastic, right across from the Malecon with great views of the ocean. However, it was a bit concerning to be in front of a security guy with a gun, which detracted from the overall experience.

Dining

7.0

The breakfast had a good selection, but unfortunately, they ran out of some items and the overall experience was not as delicious as expected.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel offers a variety of facilities, including room service, dry cleaning, bicycle hire, bell staff/porter, and valet parking services. Though the services are available, some improvements are needed for a more seamless experience.
