10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed my time at paradise point hotel. I would say that my main complaint was the distance our room was away from the pool. Restaurants and the lobby. It made it a bit of a hassle, even with a vehicle. Plus the nightly fee of $45 for parking on top of an almost $50 resort fee per night was excessive and surprising. If staff were more willing to help give rides back and forth to our room it would have made my time here more relaxing. But with the heat, it wasn’t very enjoyable."

"We had a very nice room with great view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable, Bathroom clean (but small) the room was spacious. Had a small balcony. The hotel is located by many shops, restaurants, bars, and the beach. This being said it is a bit noisy until about 11pm. The hotel is quaint, not modern, but some upgrades mixed with old time beach hotel. We enjoyed our stay"

"The breakfast here is really good in comparison to other hotels (fresh made omelets are always a win) even if the rest of the fare was the average you get anywhere else. Service was good. Our room was clean and spacious, and although a big dated (older furniture, older mini-fridge, old style bathroom, the hand-rest of the sofa was peeling) it was a comfortable stay (except for the pillows that were not great)."
