The hotel has a beautiful location right by the beach with amazing views, though the rooms were not as spacious as expected from the pictures. The service was super friendly and accommodating, making the stay enjoyable. The facilities were well-maintained, and the value for the price was reasonable.

During our stay, the hotel had some room for improvement. While the rooms could use some extra touches like hooks and bedside tables, it would have been great to have a communal cinema for rainy days and nights. However, the service was a bit disappointing in some aspects. On a positive note, the location was very comfortable and felt like a slice of paradise. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a treat of chilaquiles but some delays. The facilities overall were satisfactory.

The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were described as resembling a yurt, which was disappointing given the high cost per night. The location was praised for being near the beach and restaurants, though unannounced disruptions occurred. The dining experience was both a treat and not appropriate for the price charged.

I must say, my stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was absolutely stunning, right by the ocean and close to various facilities, while the rooms didn't quite meet my expectations due to their small size, darkness, and some design flaws. On the bright side, the service was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable overall.

I couldn't have asked for a better location with the hotel right at the oceanfront. It was a beautiful experience waking up to the beach views.
Dining
7.0
The dining options were decent, offering hotcakes, oats, eggs, breads with jam, honey, and more. However, the breakfast was a bit underwhelming with only fruit and old bread.
Facilities
The facilities were good, but some improvements could make the rooms more comfortable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a great view and a fun open concept, but the lack of a phone was inconvenient. The service was a bit of a letdown, with some staff seeming miserable, yet others were friendly. The location was awesome, close to the downtown area and exclusive beach club events, although there were unannounced disturbances at night. The dining was not up to par, with limited options and slow service.
