We had a small issue with the cleanliness of the bathroom, but the staff instantly rectified this and offered a complimentary housekeeping halfway through our stay as well as instantly changing the issue. The facilities were great, we loved the pool and the jacuzzi, took advantage almost everyday. The club upstairs was also very convenient for any night we wanted to stay local. Our room was perfect for what we needed for this trip, with easy access to more towels or essentials at any time. Definitely would stay in a Sonder location again.

Hotel is in a great location! We checked in late, around 9:30pm. The lobby seemed very busy because there was a lively bar/restaurant. Our room was on the first floor, next to the "public" bathrooms. You can totally hear the noise from the hallway if you're in the room's bathroom, but once you're in bed, the noise isn't bad at all.

The parking situation is less than ideal, but that's understandable. Main problem is that although there is someone on staff downstairs, the number for the hotel goes to a different country. There is no phone in the room. You can only enter your code into the door and you don't receive a code. The checkout time that they have on file is different than what expedia says, so you get locked out of your room.

Staff members were amazing. Lack of storage spaces, small bedrooms, and weird water system. It took us a while to figure out why when we turn cold water it is hot. There should be some guidance, I never saw this type of water system before

The hotel was conveniently located in front of the beach and within walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. It's an older hotel that has added upgrades. However, the hot water situation is out of control. There is too Much HOT HOT water. The shower control valve allows scolding hot water and it's hard to cool the water down to take a shower. The hot and cold water faucet in the kitchenette is back wards so when you turn on the cold water valve you get hot hot water and vice versa. Hard to get used to when on vacation for only a couple of days. There is no maid service and it seems everytime something is needed, I had to go onto the "app" and request it. That is new and unusual for me and I'm not interested in logging into a phone app to request additional towels or bedding or toilet paper. Not my thing. I'm not sure that I'd stay at this hotel ever again because of the app thing and the hot water issue and the pricing is somewhat expensive for an older hotel.

Great apartment for a family stay. Stylish and very well equipped We were on the first floor but road noise not too bad Pool area was lovely, and great location for beach, dining or shopping. All booking is via website and room is entered via app on phone or key code. Only thing missing for us was laundry facilities or a laundry service which would have made it perfect!
