I had a superb stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw away from the beach and near plenty of dining spots. The rooms were sparkling clean and cozy, and the staff went above and beyond with their friendliness. The only downside was the lack of variety in the dining options, but everything else was top-notch. The price was reasonable, although some amenities like Wi-Fi required an extra fee.

I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The location was superb, right across from the beach with stunning views and plenty of nearby restaurants. The rooms, despite being on the small side, were surprisingly comfortable and offered a lovely view of the neighboring buildings. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff appearing unfriendly, but others were professional and friendly, always ready to recommend great hangouts in the area. The dining experience was fantastic, with a vast array of delicious options that catered to every taste. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.

For a single night stay, the hotel's rooms are fine but on the smaller side. The view is of neighboring buildings and ventilation gratings, which could impact your experience. The location, facing the ocean, is beautiful and offers easy access to a mall, casino, and restaurants. The service is a mix; while breakfast service in Afrikaans was a bit uncertain, the overall service is professional and friendly, with excellent local recommendations.
