This hotel was the most disappointing establishment we have had the misfortune of visiting. The pervasive odor and uncleanliness were overwhelming, and even our dog refused to eat in the room. A cockroach was discovered in my room, and the pillow was extremely uncomfortable and lacked sufficient loft. We experienced severe discomfort, verging on nausea. Despite booking a two-night stay and paid an extra 72$ for our dog, we departed after the first day due to our deteriorating health. The hotel's name suggests a level of luxury, but the reality is far inferior to even the most basic accommodations in developing countries.

Ok for a quick stay
Perfect location for beach “staycation” adventures only 4 minutes away. We stayed one night, I can’t imagine you’d want to stay longer if you wanted more comfort.
Definitely an old place with extremely flat pillows & we had a kettle base but no kettle.
For a quick stay though, the aircon was cold, the shower was hot with great water pressure. Room clean but dated. Didn’t try the pool because we stayed all day at the beach and ate out hence only looking for a bed over night.

Definitely a good location and handy for people travelling with pets. However it’s an old hotel in dire need of maintenance and updating, not a place you’d stay for longer than two nights. We did enjoy the pool on a hot weekend!

The property is looking very tired and dated and needs renovating. However, our stay there was pleasant. The room was large,clean and very comfortable and the staff are good.The grounds around the motel buildings are very nice and spacious and include large grassed areas and a tennis court.
