This hotel is well located but very noisy due to the surrounding businesses.
Our room (as most were) was right next to a busy bar restaurant that was noisy until after midnight. Also, I unfortunately believe that someone spiked my water as I lay by the pool and became very disoriented and sick. The pool area can be accessed by anyone in the general public so I would not recommend this property to any single or solo female traveller for safety concerns.

Lots of construction on street, not the hotel’s fault but started at 6:55 am and could be heard on 3rd floor very well. Also noisy just because it’s downtown and pool/bar/restaurant are very close on same level. Also told front desk that floor in room is very dirty. Came out of shower with clean feet, walk to bed and they were black.
Great place to stay with fantastic amenities. Great dining options, food was delicious and reasonably priced. Rooms were clean and spacious. Walking distance to strand area, shopping and dining. Would recommend staying here
The room was nice but a little smaller than I had imagined. The hotel itself is lovely however all the rooms are located around a central pool and bar/restaurant area so may get loud on busy nights. Luckily for us it was a quiet night. The restaurant on site is amazing with great food and drinks options. The only slight inconvenience was the car parking was difficult to find, I would recommend asking for directions prior to arrival.
Room was clean but very small. Didn’t think it was good value for money. All the rooms are located around the pool and bar area so can be quite noisy. There is a good restaurant, parking and lifts. Reception staff was friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t stay on a Friday or Saturday night as next door to night clubs. Unless yr going clubbing of course
Staff are friendly. A bit noisy due to night life. I was in a room away from street which was ok. Comfy bed. Air con was on in room upon arrival. Thank you.

Stated luxurious stay but felt more motel like. Parking was difficult to find but got it in the end. Stay was fine for the one night but wouldn’t holiday here
Room was clean. However, the rooms are located around the bar, restaurant and pool area so are noisy at night with the sound of voices, and furniture being dragged across the floor. Bed very soft so not comfy.
Room is nothing like the photos.
We were locked out of our room due to a failing battery.
Manager did what he could but sadly we will never stay here again. It was supposed to be a romantic weekend away and instead was a weekend from hell. Thank you to the manager who checked us out you were truly the only highlight this place had to offer.
