My girlfriend and I had an amazing time here . Customer support was amazing , you could text the hotel and I’d always get a reply within a few minutes. The check in was at 4 but they had my room ready by 2 without me even asking .
The room was very clean. The property was very peaceful . Guess services was very professional pleasant and prompt to answer any questions. The property was very close to the beach that was a plus my future stay will always be here.

Convenient check in, friendly communicative host and nice facilities. However this room sadly has no heat and was too cold to sleep in.
They fixed the AC when I asked them to, but there were March break kids everywhere and it was very loud throughout the night Ns someone even tried to open my door at 4 am
Hi. Everything was great at the Elita. The only thing I can say that I did not like is that when you get to the Hotel, there is a reception area with no one in it....all day. You have to walk down two buildings to actually speak to a receptionist/manager. There should be a sign on the Elita Hotel telling you where to go. Other than that ... perfect!!!
Poor experience, poor housekeeping, the curtains don’t work properly I end up fixing it, parking situation is terrible you pay online and you will get ignored when you ask fo a receipt. Never do it again!
The room was small but very clean. However, I could hear people talking through the walls. Due to this I then decided to cancel and book a room at a better hotel.
I contacted the hotel staff and advised them of the situation. They responded and apologized for the inconvenience. The staff member assured me that she would follow up and attempt to refund me half of my money despite their no refund policy. The follow up never occurred but I wasn’t expecting any refund due to their policy.
Book at your own risk.

Wouldn’t book here again. No hotel staff on site is the biggest issue. Everything is do it yourself. They don’t service your room, it’s impossible to get clean towels & rags and there are no amenities. The pool had trash floating in it from the night before and when I notified the person on the other side of the “text massages” she replied, “maintenance told me the pool was in excellent condition”. It’s a bunch of young spring breakers staying there so it noisy and they left trash everywhere everyday. There was piles of trash outside my hotel room & a housekeeper cart they stayed there my entire stay. I asked for an extra clean towel & wash rag because my room came with only one and I was told to look in the “living room” that was a joke. The have run down outside furniture & overall it was a poor excuse for a hotel. Two positives: the room was clean when I checked in and when I asked to be reassigned to another room because the outlets were faulty, they reassigned me after offering to run the most obnoxious extension cord across my old room. Do not stay here unless you care nothing about your stay.

Chambre nettoyé mais on voit qu'ils tourne les coins rond. Manque de rigueur surtout plancher. La petite hôtel est quand même bien placé, facile d'accès. Un gros plus est le stationnement à 20$usd/nuit direct en face. Confort quand même bien. Je serais prêt à y retourner.
