The only thing I did not like was when the repair man came to repair our air conditioner- he used the rest room and left the toilet seat up. Then the maid came later that day - and didn’t lock our room.

That was a great stay! Clean, nice and quiet area, they do have a little cafeteria downstairs with snacks, pastries and coffee, rooftop bar and rotating restaurant with beautuful view both at night and during the day. Little gem is bar Bongos that offers a variety of food and drinks, great atmosphere and lots of good people! There's also a pool on the property, but we didn't care for it cause the ocean was so warm and beautiful. And it's right there, less than a 1 minute walk from the hotel. We had a partial view room, but it was actually better, cause we coud still see both the ocean and the bay, so i loved it! Also, the restaurant on top offers brunch on weekends. Staff is great, but the food quality and variety is so-so for the price, it's a self serve buffet, not much to choose from, but the view is worth it for sure! We will definitely come again!
