Overall, my stay had its ups and downs. I enjoyed the breathtaking oceanfront views and the clean, modern room, which really enhanced my experience. However, the mattress was quite lumpy, and the hallway carpets could definitely use a cleaning. The convenient beach access was a big plus, but I found the Wi-Fi to be weaker than expected at times.

Rooms
7.0
The room was modern, clean, and provided breathtaking oceanfront views with a nice balcony to enjoy the scenery. However, the bed was somewhat lumpy, which made it less comfortable than I had hoped.
Service

The service was acceptable, with friendly staff who were attentive, but nothing that stood out as exceptional.
Location

The hotel has a fantastic location right on the beach, which made it easy to access the sand and surf without any hassle. Definitely a strong point of my stay.

The facilities were decent, particularly the cleanliness of the pool area, which was well-maintained and enjoyable. However, the hallways could use a shampoo to improve the overall vibe.
