6/10 Good

Mildew smell

We were initially put in a room in building 1 which smelled like mold and mildew. Upon complaining about the strong odor we were moved to building 3 which was better. However, still a slight mildew odor. The pool is small and overcrowded. Great location across from the beach and the staff was accommodating.
Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was out third time here and a great hotel but this time we paid extra for the "ocean view" room which ended up being above the pool with an obstructed ocean view. The kids and music at the pool kept us awake from 7am to 10pm and was not relaxing at all. Definitely not worth the extra money for the upgrade and had us leaving very disappointed

Lovely beachside hotel

Staff were immediately welcoming and lovely. They accommodated our 7 month baby with a pack and play and high chairs at the restaurants. The room is thoughtfully designed and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and the proximity of the hotel to the beach, wineries, restaurants and zoo

Great Properly... A bit dated, but overall pretty nice. It brought a bit of old charm, and you could tell that at one point in time it was pretty luxurious... Definitely not the Four Seasons!
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location was right across from the beach. Star was friendly and helpful. We had a group of friends there and they made an extra effort to house us in the same building. Overall, a very nice stay.
Kenneth, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

I was housed in an annex building set away from the hotel area. This was inconvenient as a solo traveller without an car, and didn’t feel like a safe environment. Room decoration was dated.
