PROs:
The property is not new, but it is very well maintained. The half board (breakfast and dinner) was good value in May 2024 (probably shoulder season). It is close to the beach so guests can easily enjoy the sea and access to the long boardwalk. We are not into nightlife and had a great experience overall. Was glad we got a room on the south side (partial views of the ocean), which is much better than on the north side (ocean views blocked by neighbouring hotel). This hotel does the basics very well, but no real bells and whistles here. Front desk staff were welcoming and professional, as were most of the staff.
CONs:
Disappointed that we weren't offered an upgrade when the front desk mentioned they weren't very busy. A couple of the senior restaurant staff, although polite to everyone, ingratiated themselves more to guests who were perceived as bigger spenders. Guests are not stupid, especially those who choose to stay in 4-5 star hotels.
