I had a great stay overall! The hotel is located in a fantastic spot with beautiful views of the beach, and I really appreciated the room setup for my family. While I found the service to be friendly, there were some hiccups with check-in. The dining experience could use some improvement, as the breakfast didn't match the price we paid. Overall, it’s a solid choice but has some room for improvement.

The rooms were nice and spacious, featuring four single beds separated by a wall which was perfect for our family. I enjoyed sitting on the bed, relaxing and listening to the calming sounds of the sea waves. However, I did notice that the rooms were under renovation, which was a bit inconvenient.

Overall, my stay was a bit of a mixed bag. While the location was perfect for accessing the Buffalo Regatta and nearby restaurants, the rooms had some serious issues like being stuffy and having a blocked shower drain. The staff was friendly, but their inexperience showed, and unfortunately, the dining experience didn’t live up to my expectations. On the brighter side, the spaciousness of the room was a plus.

My stay at the hotel was quite nice overall. The rooms were a good size and had everything I needed, although I was slightly surprised to find out I had a double bed instead of a queen. The staff were friendly and willing to help, but sometimes a little overwhelmed. The location was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views and easy access to the beach. Dining could use some improvement, especially with limited hours. Overall, it offered good value for money, but be ready for some minor inconveniences.
