"Plan ahead for parking. If you are unable to pre-book parking with the hotel (which we did not know was an option), it could be a bit challenging to find parking as the parking in front of the hotel is public."

"The condo is conveniently located near the beach, shops and restaurants. The view of the beach is good. The condo was newly redecorated including kitchen and bathrooms. The beds were really comfortable, which is key for us. It was nice having secure parking. I gave 4 stars because the fans were loud, dirty and not very effective. The weather was not too hot but it was warm sleeping at night. The area is loud so it is difficult sleeping with the windows open. There are some homeless around."
