"Everything was great and perfect I don’t have no complaints I love it here definitely will be booking again"

Plaza Beach Hotel Beachfront Resort

8/10 Good

"The property is decked out retro from the 50s very unique, but there is too much cigarette smoke as you walk to your room. There’s ashtrays outside each room which I get because they don’t want people smoking in the rooms, but everybody was out there smoking and it was quite a deterrent I would rather they have a designated smoking area…. To be honest with you it was kinda lowlife people hanging out there smoking. I hate to label people, but they look like they live there.!!"

The Hotel Zamora

10/10 Excellent

"The room here was just beautiful. I had a great weekend away and Hotel Zamora was the perfect place for it."

Peninsula Bed & Cocktails

10/10 Excellent

"This is a return visit to this hotel. We enjoy the location as it is walkable to the downtown area. The rooms are clean, comfortable and use the fun concept of the drink name in the doecorating scheme. It was nice to have a drink before dinner on the pleasant front porch, and the breakfast was amazing. We will certainly return again."
