Overall, I had a frustrating experience at this hotel. While the location was decent with easy access to the beach and some nice views, my room wasn't up to par for the price I paid. The staff was polite but seemed overwhelmed and untrained, leading to issues that exacerbated my stay. I hoped for a relaxing getaway, but that just didn’t happen.

I enjoyed my stay at the Ocean Club, where the breathtaking ocean views were the highlight of the trip. The staff provided excellent service, making my experience feel special, especially when they resolved some booking issues. However, the amenities did not fully meet the expectations set by the penthouse classification, and I was disappointed by the limited dining options during the off-season. Overall, it's a great choice for view lovers, but some additional amenities would improve the experience.
