“The direct beachfront access is a real draw, and having both indoor and outdoor pool options is a definite plus; the on-site restaurant, while somewhat dated, provides a convenient spot for a beachside breakfast or lunch. However, the hotel's condition seems uneven, and the pricing might not fully reflect the overall experience. With some targeted updates, this property could better capitalize on its prime location and amenities.”
