The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Wonderful Pool Complex

The pool area was absolutely stunning! It featured a beautiful waterfall that added a touch of tranquility to the atmosphere. I didn't get a chance to swim because we spent most of our time at the beach, but it looked incredibly inviting with plenty of seating and day beds to relax on.

Comfortable and Clean

Our unit had clearly been recently upgraded with new flooring and modern furnishings. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything was spotless when we arrived. I loved having an ocean view from our room, making it easy to enjoy the sound of the waves all day.

Kids Pool Fun

The kids' pool was a fantastic addition to our stay. My children had a wonderful time splashing around, making it a perfect spot for family fun. It's great to have dedicated amenities for children that allow them to safely enjoy their vacation.

Convenient Parking

I appreciated the off-street parking available at the resort. It made our stay hassle-free knowing we had a secure spot for our vehicle. The parking convenience really added to the overall positive experience of our trip.

5.0/10

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 While I appreciated the view, the room itself was outdated and not very clean.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 However, the accommodations are outdated and not worth the price we paid.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.

Service

The hotel is conveniently located across from the main beach and just a short walk to local shops and takeaway food, which I really appreciated.

Dining

While I had some good meals close by, the dining options available within the hotel were quite limited, and I felt I could get better quality elsewhere.

The facilities were decent, but not exceptional. I particularly loved the sauna, but overall felt they could improve.
