Very clean and quiet. The food at the restaurant had very good presentation and excellent taste. The staff very attentive.
At check out I was presented with a 10% of my hotel bill as a tip which was not disclosed previously.Did not say who the tip was for. Advisable to not tip in dining room as I did.

Great location, luxury room but a bit small. Quiet. Tranquilo
Was kind of bizarre that I stayed in an economy hotel for $45/ a night a block away with great wifi and this $160/ night luxury building couldn't get the internet to work on my floor when I was there.

There was no internet the whole time we were there. They pretended to be working on it, but made no progress. The staff feigned ignorance when I asked over Whatsapp, but said "there's a guy here to fix it today" when asked in person. The shower nob was broken (it falls off). This didn't feel like a stay that matched the expectations set by the price

We loved the location! It was awesome that our room price included tickets to the Lost Beach Club. We really enjoyed Essio's pizza that's on-site too. Super delicious pizza at a great price!
A week before our stay, we were asked by Booking.com if we would like to upgrade to the presidential suite, so we did. Two days before our arrival, the hotel contacted us telling us that the presidential suite wasn't available the first night. No problem! We agreed to stay in the double room the first night and move to the presidential suite for the other two nights of our reservation. However, the hotel still charged us the presidential suite price for all three nights, saying that we agreed to it, which we did not. We were also disappointed with the restaurant's service. It was slow and unattentive. We waited up to an hour to receive our meals.

Nice View, Nice Restaurant. The *restaurant* staff and chef were accommodating. The menu has a lot of options and the food was good. The hotel is beachfront so you can walk directly to the sand.
Parking - there are only a few parking spots at the hotel. More parking is available down the street and off the property. We asked the reception staff to advise us when a spot came available and they never did. Odor - the room (403) was not clearly advertised as a Smoking Room. I'm not particularly sensitive, but the strong odor of cigarette smoke was a disappointment in the penthouse, oceanview. Balcony furniture. The room has a wonderful oceanfront view from its balcony, however, the plastic furniture is quite uncomfortable to spend much time there.

THERE WERW COCKROACHES IN THE RROOM, the room smelled like a lot of Humidity, when you get into an old house closed for years. I had to move to another room, but since then we started the experience in a very bad way…
