The beds are not comfortable and the air conditioning is noisy. The food is mediocre. The security is non existent at night -leaving any guests to fend for themselves. In spite of citing these to management--they required full payment even though we moved to another property further down the beach the second day. Not good business--ripped off and will never go back nor recommend this property. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 29, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Hotel does not have creditcard to charge restaurat lackedofpersonell ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 16, 2021 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 19, 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 29, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camilo Romero Nov 11, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Camilo Romero ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Aparthotels Port Stanley](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Stanley-Apart-Hotels.d181900-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Chilliwack Proper](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Proper-Chilliwack-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-n553248635976398820-0-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [West-facing Home With Pool and 2nd Floor Porch](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-864-Swan-Drive.h35871787.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Llanquihue](https://www.expedia.ca/Llanquihue-Hotels.d6324430.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Spa Hotels in Ireland](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Ireland-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d84-tSpaHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [hiltonhotels Hotels in Edgemont](https://www.expedia.ca/Edgemont-Vancouver-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-n553248635976400428-0--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Vassenden](https://www.expedia.ca/Vassenden-Hotels.d3000023224.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Motels Winnemucca](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnemucca-Motels.d10420-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Balsa Surf Camp by Rotamundos](https://www.expedia.ca/Manglaralto-Hotels-Balsa-Surf-Camp-By-Rotamundos.h4306432.Hotel-Information) > - [hiltonhotels Hotels in Vancouver Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Island-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d6058387--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [B&B Milton](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Bed-And-Breakfast.d55368-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Jolly Roger Inn & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Parry-Sound-Hotels-Jolly-Roger-Inn-Resort.h67414965.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Decameron Punta Centinela](https://www.expedia.ca/Salinas-Hotels-Royal-Decameron-Punta-Centinela.h5297938.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Libre](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum-Hotels-Casa-Libre.h89674526.Hotel-Information) > - [RV Parks Stratford](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-RV-Parks.d553248634999130175-aaRVParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > - [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Salem (SLE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/sle/ottawa-to-salem) > - [Air Canada Austin (AUS) to Mississauga (YYZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-austin-bergstrom-intl-to-pearson-intl/ac/aus/yyz) > - [Flights from Piarco (POS) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pos/yvr/port-of-spain-to-vancouver) > - [Flights from Las Vegas (LAS) to Mesa (AZA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/las/aza/las-vegas-to-mesa) > - [Flights from Niamey (NIM) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nim/yvr/niamey-to-vancouver) > - [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Lloydminster (YLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yll/edmonton-to-lloydminster) > - [Flights from Nanjing (NKG) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nkg/ywg/nanjing-to-winnipeg) ### Cars ### Activities > - [Things to do in Western Pennsylvania](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Western-Pennsylvania.d6234012.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General > - [Visit Lisboa Region](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisboa-Region.dx6307709) > - [Visit Bambalapitiya](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Bambalapitiya.dx553248635964996976)
