Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, but there were some issues with bathroom dampness and humidity. The service was good, although there were language limitations with tour recommendations. The location is fantastic near the beach and eateries, but the closing time could have been later. The dining options were limited, with a view to the beach, and the facilities are well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative aspects. The room was clean and nice, but it had a stuffy smell at times. The location was perfect in the Boca Grande area with easy access to stores and restaurants, offering a beautiful beach view. The service had its highs and lows, with some staff being great and helpful, while others seemed more focused on money. The dining options were a bit limited, but overall satisfactory.
The hotel is very outdated and needs better cleanliness around the bed. The minibar offers expensive snacks and water. The staff are extremely kind and helpful, but sometimes appear inattentive, likely due to a demanding boss or clientele. The location, right in front of Bocagrande beach, is excellent for beach lovers and close to local food sources. The dining experience is above average but lacks variety with the same options every morning, and there are panhandlers outside, even at the beach.
The hotel's location is excellent, being next to the beach and close to various local food sources. The rooms, while barely having storage space, were adequate and tasty. The service was mostly friendly, although recommendations for Spanish-speaking tours posed a challenge. The location was perfect, providing easy access to the beach, restaurants, cabs, and more in a bustling urban setting. Dining options, while limited, offered fresh omelettes daily.
The hotel's location was phenomenal, with ocean views and access to local eateries. The rooms, though showing signs of age, could use some updating. The service was attentive but had some peculiarities. The dining options were good but lacked local flair. On the whole, a solid choice for the price.
I had a great time staying at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and offered amazing views of the city and beach. The rates were a bit on the expensive side, but the overall experience was worth it. The service was excellent, and the staff was attentive and helpful in every interaction.
I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, with quality beds and linens, yet the service was a letdown as the staff seemed unfriendly and inefficient. The location was great, right in the heart of Boca Grande, but the dining options were lacking. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel offers a stunning ocean view from every angle, but the air conditioning struggles to cool the bed area. The rooms are spacious, clean, but show signs of aging. The staff are incredibly kind and go above and beyond to meet all our needs, making the stay memorable. The location is safe and convenient with a mix of positive and negative elements. The dining experience is decent with both hot and cold options but lacks in a more updated feel. Overall, a mix of highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel offers a nice view of the ocean or city, although located across the street from the beach. The rooms should be cleaner around the bed, but overall, they are very nice and provide a pleasant view.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel with its amazing location near the beach and shopping areas. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The facilities, especially the beautiful ocean views, were delightful.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Boca Grande, offering easy access to the main beach and a variety of nearby eateries with budget-friendly prices. While the rooms are more like a 3.5-star standard and lack balconies, they do provide a partial sea view. The service provided by the staff is exceptional, with their friendliness and attentiveness enhancing the overall experience. However, the dining options are somewhat limited, although the dishes served are exquisite.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had a beautiful view of the beach and the city skyline from the balcony. The onsite tour operators and shops made everything so convenient. The only downside was the hit-or-miss service at the bar when ordering drinks.
The hotel is across the street from the beach, offering a great view of the ocean from the rooms. Although some minor issues were noticed like a broken window and poor shower drain, overall, it was a decent stay and I would consider coming back.
The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and offers easy access to various eateries. The rooms had some issues with mold and a damp smell but were near the beach. The service was good overall but required translation assistance. The dining experience left much to be desired, reminiscent of a different era. However, the facilities were satisfactory, making for a decent stay overall.
The hotel offers good-sized rooms with spectacular views and a convenient location in the Boca Grande area. While the price is reasonable compared to other options, some aspects like the lack of opening windows and furniture with drawers could be improved.
