The hotel boasts a great location with lush tropical gardens and nearby beach access. While my room was spacious and had a lovely view, it felt a bit dated. The staff provided helpful assistance, but dining could be improved with more diverse options. Overall, it's a nice place, but some areas could use a bit more attention to enhance the experience.

The hotel offers a beautiful location right next to the beach, which is definitely one of its highlights. While the rooms were spacious, I noticed a musty smell that detracted from the experience. The dining options were superb, especially the breakfast which was one of the best I've ever had. However, the service could be improved as it felt a bit overcrowded at times with large groups.

The hotel is in a beautiful location right next to the gorgeous beach and offers great views of the river. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but they do show some signs of aging, especially the bathrooms. While the dining options were decent, some areas of service could be improved, particularly in terms of staff friendliness. Overall, it’s a lovely place to relax with a fantastic pool area, but some updates would make it even better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right by a beautiful beach and river, and the staff was friendly. However, the rooms were not very clean and there were too many ants and insects. Dining options were limited, and while breakfast was great, the dinner didn’t impress me much. Overall, it has potential, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

The hotel has a lovely vibe with its beautiful beach and lush surroundings, making it feel like a little paradise. However, the rooms could use some updating and feel a bit tired. While the staff was friendly, they seemed a bit unsure about providing information or engaging with families. Overall, it's a great location for a beach vacation but has some room for improvement in room quality and service knowledge.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms that had a delightful view of the garden. The staff was really friendly and helpful, although it seemed they were a bit intimidated by kids hanging around the reception. The hotel's location is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery, but if you're looking for direct beach access, this might not be the best choice. Overall, it's a solid option with good value for money.

While the location is fantastic with easy access to the ocean, I found the rooms to be a bit musty and could use some improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is stunning, right on the beach with a lovely pool area. The rooms are spacious and come with nice balconies but had a few issues with moisture from the AC unit. The staff provided friendly service, but I ran into some trouble getting information about local attractions. Dining was a bit of a letdown, as the buffet was limited and quite pricey. Overall, the hotel has great potential but needs some improvements in certain areas.
