I would probably give this hotel 3.5 stars - overall. First of all, we liked the beautiful partial ocean view and nice balcony on the 8th floor. Rooms on lower floors do not have balconies. Another plus is that the beach is right across the hotel which is really convenient. There is also a bus stop pretty close to the hotel... More
