The hotel offers a great beachfront location, which I absolutely loved, but the rooms were disappointing and in need of renovation. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the stay a bit more enjoyable. Unfortunately, the dining choices were not appealing at all, which was a letdown. Overall, it has potential but needs some serious improvements to reach its full value.

I had a nice stay at this hotel. The location is nearly perfect, right on the beach, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and had the essentials but felt a bit basic.

The hotel has a peaceful atmosphere and is conveniently located at the start of Ponta Negra beach, which is perfect for beach lovers. The staff is friendly and helpful, making the experience enjoyable. However, the rooms were quite dated, not matching the appealing photos online, and the dining options fell short with limited variety. Overall, it feels like it could offer better value for money considering the room condition and food.
