8/10 Good
"Very cute hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean. Glad I didn't listen to others reviews. Two beach chairs were complimentary although they were completely full. Would have preferred loungers on the beach instead of chairs. If you drive, bring your own chairs as the pool area is small and have about 20 loungers which are hard to snag. There's a bar right outside of the pool area but the servers don't take orders at the pool (missed opportunity). Also bring a beach towel. The ones provided are kid sized."

"My son loved the arcade. We loved the bar, restaurant and coffee shop. The beach was quite busy around the hotel, but nothing they can help. Love the glass elevators, stove, microwave, etc. I wish they did have an outdoor pool, but the indoor pool is very nice. I’m sure it’s convenient when it’s rainy. Overall, I always enjoy it here. Reasonable prices too."

"Beautiful location, the roof top and indoor pool was great. Only thing i disliked was they don’t provide pool towels. The staff was friendly and very helpful. They were prompt with sending extra blankets and towels to the room. Room was spacious and everything worked. Only issue with the room was the air conditioning was very loud. The view was amazing and the private beach was my favorite part."
