I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It’s an excellent spot for families, with spacious rooms that cater to kids just perfectly. The pool was really great, and the staff made us feel at home. However, the dining options could use some improvement, particularly for breakfast. Overall, the location is fantastic, but it can get a bit crowded at times.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect if you're looking for a beach setting, and I really enjoyed the live band during my time there. The rooms were delightful, but I did notice that they could use a bit of maintenance, especially the bathtub. While the dining options were decent, they didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of quality. Overall, it's a great value for money, but there are a few things that could be improved.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms decorated with fascinating musical instruments and portraits of music icons. The location was good, providing direct beach access and water activities, although it could get a bit noisy in the afternoons. The service was friendly and accommodating, but I encountered one grumpy staff member at the Hard Rock Cafe. While breakfast was great, I recommend arriving early to avoid long waits.
