I wanted this place initially from the Expedia listing and the photos. Overall great place / we ended up back in the area and spent a couple nights here. Outdoor dining on the ocean/sea waterfront was great! Staff was excellent and we enjoyed the pool. The place needs some touch up / the rooms need an overhaul and it's obvious that the finishers in this place either didn't finish or the finish work failed in the rooms and other areas. Easily fixable. Would stay again.

Grounds Beautiful- Rooms Average to below Average

giraffe hotel was recommended by a friend so we decided to stay there for one night because we were in town for a wedding. The curtains had stains, the floors hadn’t been cleaned and the toilet was leaking. The refrigerator didn’t work and the man came up to fix it, but did, not cool the entire night. When we came back from the wedding, there was a wedding at the hotel and the music was so loud. We were up until 2:30 in the morning. The swimming pool looks lovely and the grounds are beautiful, but the rooms are substandard.
