Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers very good amenities in the rooms, although the shower was broken during my stay, requiring me to hold it in my hand for the duration. The location is especially convenient by the Venetian harbor, close to the beach. However, the dining options were limited to meaty pizza only.
The hotel's rooms were spacious and nicely equipped with good amenities, but the shower had a minor issue that required holding it by hand while showering with my two teenage children. The air conditioning worked well, which was a plus, making for a comfortable stay overall. The service was efficient, offering various convenient options like room service and dry cleaning. The location was quiet yet close enough to downtown, but not directly on the sandy beach suitable for children, although it was on a beach. The grilled seafood in the dining area was delightful, adding to the positive dining experience. Despite these, the hotel offered good value for money with its clean and comfortable rooms provided at a fair price.
