Not sure why Expedia displays this hotel as a 5 stars. I would give it 3.5-4 starts tops. WiFi connection at the hotel is absolutely awful. It’s super slow (whenever works) and it drops every 5 minutes. I complained to the staff and reception and they couldn’t do anything to fix it. The toilet doesn’t work well either. No power or pressure. You flush it and not even your urine goes down until you flush it a few times lol. Hotel is in front of the beach but rooms have no balcony lol. The bedroom has a nice bed, shower is also nice, breakfast descent. This hotel is not a 5 stars lol. If you need WiFi for your computer, something more important than just navigating for pleasire, beware it won’t work here ‘

I upgraded the room to sea view room and all the windows were so dirty that can't even see outside. I asked to change the room but it was not changed. also there was no bathrobes or sleepers in the room. I don't think I will stay again at this hotel.

5 star location, 3 star hardware, 1 star amenities and service. warning: no coffee machine or even a simple electic kettle in the room, not even when you request it. no complimentary drinking water, they'd charge you $3 for each small bottle of water. fitness room also poorly managed. the whole hotel management feels like 2-3 star style. consider you just get a bed close to the beach, that is it.
