Convenient location to shopping, beach and restaurants. Rate was outstanding. The lifts at the center of the hotel to our floor was closed off. This was inconvenient. Parking is undercover and great.

The location was great, the room was very nice with balcony and sea view. I did not like the unnecessary security and on two occasions could not access the floor my room was on because the card had to be reset
