Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the breakfast was quite good and the bathroom was large and comfortable. On the other hand, the lack of privacy due to the bathroom design and the unexpected room changes made things uncomfortable. The hotel lacked many basic amenities, and it felt more like a budget option than a boutique experience.
My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. Although the initial promise of wheelchair accessibility and a pleasant stay attracted me, the reality was vastly different. The lack of true accessibility features and poor customer service were significant downsides, overshadowing any positives. I would hesitate to recommend this hotel based on my experience.
My stay at Fairways Hotel was quite challenging. While the location is ideal for beach lovers, the room accessibility issues were overwhelming. The renovation work was bothersome, and the atmosphere felt chaotic and disorganized. Although I did encounter one kind builder who helped us, the overall impression of management and the state of the facilities was far from satisfactory.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff greeted us with such warmth, and I loved the beautiful decor in the rooms and bathrooms. The jacuzzi was a nice touch, but my experience soured a bit when I had issues with the room arrangements and the service was lacking at night. Overall, it was a lovely experience despite a few hiccups.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, the location was misleading as it wasn't as close to the beach as I had hoped. The room was beautiful and well-appointed, but I struggled with the TV. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance but found some aspects lacking.
