- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Average comfort rating relative to other categories — Comfort scores 8.3, lower than other categories, suggesting some guests find the beds or noise levels less than ideal.
- Beach not directly on site — While the hotel is close to the beach, it's not right on the sand — expect a short walk or drive.
