My stay was quite disappointing overall. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, but the room and service left a lot to be desired. I encountered major issues with the lack of parking and unbearable noise from a party below. While I appreciated the view, the room itself was outdated and not very clean. Communication with staff was frustrating, and I felt they were unhelpful when I sought assistance. Definitely not the experience I had hoped for.

The hotel offers a great location with easy access to the beach and nearby shops, which is a huge plus. However, the accommodations are outdated and not worth the price we paid. The lack of daily towel changes and limited room service was disappointing, and the Wi-Fi connection was poor at best, which took away from the overall experience.

The Beach Retreat is a gem for budget travelers looking for value. The rooms were tidy and clean, and I really appreciated the helpful staff at reception. It's located conveniently across from the beach and near a variety of great restaurants. However, I did miss having ocean views, and during peak season, the prices might be higher than expected for what you get.

My stay at this hotel was quite the mixed bag. On one hand, the location is absolutely fantastic, right across from the beach and close to shops. However, the customer service left a lot to be desired, and I had unpleasant experiences with noise and cleanliness that really dampened my trip.

Rooms

The room was a studio with a kitchenette, but it had a lot of noise coming from the air conditioning units of adjacent rooms, which made for restless nights. The space felt outdated.
