Like one of the reviewers before me, I too was taken to another hotel up the road. A "5 star" hotel they said, that would be much better. Not next to the ocean but bigger and more comfortable. Hah! That hotel was nice but it smelled of cheap perfume all over the place. So disgusting. I complained about the smell. I was told to open my balcony door......It did not work! What a hassle to move to this hotel that we actually had paid for the next day in the middle of the day when that room was ready. My daughter and I were not the only ones that experienced this treatment. There were several others too. Approximately 4 families were going through this same hassle when we arrived. What they do is overbook this hotel so that they can fill up their other hotel. It seems to be working because when I went there it was in September of 2009. I had read on TripAdvisor that they had done this to others prior to booking. I thought maybe it was just a mistake........NOPE! Business as usual.
I will say that this hotel was convenient and clean once we were able to actually get into the room. We had an ocean view with a full moon. Very beautiful. The people watching at the beaches were great fun and the drinks a bit pricey. I still consider it a horrible business practice and advise you to take caution when/if booking here.
