Our suite was lovely facing the beach and the staff were great throughout the property. It was good location with bus outside the hotel. We were able to relax in comfort and enjoyed our stay very much.

Overall, it's a pleasant experience. Although the hotel a bit dated, front desk staff on that day was very professional and pleasant. As always, people is the key after all. Thank you guys. Of course, the location is great, right in front of the beautiful beach.
