I loved the modern vibe and the great pool. The location is excellent, and overall it’s a fantastic stay. The only small improvement I’d suggest is updating the beach club lounge chairs, as they’re a bit worn, and possibly adding a parking partnership with a nearby parking lot.

The room is very nice, and the staff is terrific. The cleaning services every day are very good and the views from the hotel are great and the location is great. It’s right next to Muza a very nice restaurant. There is also a restaurant in the hotel when tourism is at its peak.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The price was fair for the location on 5th Avenue and right in front of the ocean. The hotel is clean and the bed was comfortable, but the property clearly needs renovation. The toilet area felt very small and somewhat claustrophobic. There is also noise at night from nearby restaurants and music from the surrounding area. I personally sleep deeply, so it didn’t bother me, but light sleepers might find it an issue. Overall, it’s a reasonable option for a short stay if you want an affordable beachfront place in a very central area.

We were there for 10 d’autre days The staff was really nice and friendly Cleaning was fine They don’t have facecloth so bring your own There is a very bad smell coming out of the shower drain so we had to put a wet towel on the drain and it helped There is 4 choices for breakfast and we asked for pastries a couple of times Being in the city you are close to many restaurants for other options Walmart is 10 minutes walk so you can have more options in your fridge (food drinks and alcohol) Being a small hotel makes it a nice and quiet place and not too crowded The room was beautiful The roof top has amazing view and very nice staff but it needs some tlc No long chairs at the pool or beach but you can rent spots nearby The beach is very rocky so you need water shoes The prices are high but you’re on vacation I would go back there!

They had construction going on during our stay. The floors in lobby were being replaced, which is disappointing because the old floors looked and suited the aesthetic better. So the constant noise and tape and dust was a bit overwhelming. We couldn’t even enjoy the restaurant next door due to the constant noise through the day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks at the rooftop were surprisingly delicious. The passion fruit margaritas and salmon were *chefs kiss*. However, the pool was super cold, didn’t even get in almost wish it was heated but the weather wasn’t too hot.
