This was my third time there.
The staff at the breakfast always super friendly. Aline at the front desk helped me with an issue with the WiFi changing my room.
Great size bedrooms. Bathrooms need to be updated.
First night was not very pleasant, WiFi did not work at all, complained 3 times and the answer was the technician would be there to check the following day. No updates on fixing but Aline went above and beyond and changed my room.
I love the location.
Next time I will probably try the ones more modern around the area

The internet did not work the entire trip.
They double billed me $250 for Christmas Dinner and said they could not refund me the money.
Everybody was noce, but they make things sound impossible when it comes to correcting a mistake.
Beautiful ocean view, close to malls and restaurants etc. cleanliness can be improved as well as have more prepared multilingual staff. limited amenities.

Management in denial of problems
Hotel looks nice and is in a good location. However it is clearly suffering from lack of maintenance.
The games room has broekn games and the gym is mouldy. My shower was leaking and poorly looked after
WiFi signal is too weak to work within rooms and you have to go to reception.
Breakfast is okay, a nice touch is a chef who makes your omellete for you. On the down side the juice is watered down and one day guests were served sour milk.
Uauuuu… peguei a suíte pra me arrumar no dia do meu casamento, apesar do atraso, (pq quando cheguei a suíte ainda não estava pronta) o hotel entrega conforto e espaço. A suite golden é magnífica e as fotos ficaram maravilhosas. O café da manhã estava literalmente lotado, mas não deixamos de comer bem e Aproveitar tudo o que ele oferece.

Boa localização, na frente da praia. O banheiro é muito apertado para o tipo de quarto selecionado (reservei a Suite Master Varanda, vista Mar). O restante da suíte tinha um bom tamanho, bons aparelhos de ar condicionado. O banheiro tem um problema de escoamento de água: a água do box empoçava demorando muito a descer depois do banho, e o vaso sanitário entupiu (mesmo respeitando o adesivo que está no banheiro pedindo para não jogar nada no vaso - algo típico de hotéis com problema de saneamento). Ao pedir que desentupissem o banheiro não consegui que alguém nos atendesse (pedido realizado 3 vezes), resolvemos o problema por nossa conta. Horas depois de termos resolvido o problema por nossa conta apareceu um funcionário que basicamente só olhou o vaso e foi embora. O café da manhã do hotel é bom (o atendimento dos garçons pode demorar também, normalmente fazíamos a mesma solicitação cerca de 3 vezes antes de sermos atendidos). Escolheria outro hotel caso retornasse à cidade, pelo preço que pagamos, há outras opções no mesmo padrão.
Linda vista da praia, com cadeiras e guarda sol pros hóspedes, atendimento de bar na praia. Quarto amplo e muito limpo.
Café da manhã variado e muito bom. Equipe no 10.
Estacionamento com manobrista a 20 reais a diária, acho que compensa.
Pé na areia.
Pontos negativos: Check in com 1h de atraso, banheiro muito pequeno e café da manhã terrível
Pontos positivos: Estacionamento grátis e funcionários bem simpáticos
Hotel muito bom. Atendimento maravilhoso dos funcionários. Achei o box do banheiro muito pequeno.

Péssima experiência
A localização do hotel é excelente. Mas para por aí!! O estacionamento é pago, até toalha se quiser eles “emprestam” por 2,00 cada. O atendimento deixa muito a desejar! O café da manhã é fraco, eles ofertam muitas massas (pães, bolos, bolachas) mas o sabor dos bolos são horríveis. A tapioca faz na hora, mas vem crua. Sem falar no atendimento do café da manhã, o pessoal nem olha na sua cara.
Estadia razoável ! Com relação à limpeza, podia ser bem melhor

Hotel simples mas atende.
Hotel normal, nada demais. O bom que é bem de frente para a praia. Café na manhã bom, camas bem grandes. O maior problema foi o mal cheiro do banheiro pois, a janela dos banheiros fica para a onde fica os canos então fica com muito mal cheiro. Reclamei mas não adiantou.
O hotel é um pouco velho e tinhas umas sujeiras incrustadas no Box do banheiro.
Gostei co quarto que era bem amplo. As camas eram boas e o ar condicionando funcionava bem

Foi muito boa. Nada a reclamar. Só a cama que era pra ser king e veio duas camas de solteiro juntas. Isso foi o ruim.
