My experience at The Boardwalk Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, which I appreciated, but I found the dining options and overall service lacking. The breakfast selection was limited, and I struggled with finding suitable options. While the location was enjoyable and close to various activities, the staff's attentiveness could definitely be improved.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Boardwalk Hotel. The sea-facing room offered amazing views of the Indian Ocean, and the sumptuous bathroom was a highlight. However, I faced issues with service and amenities that detracted from the overall experience. While breakfast was abundant, it could be improved to cater to different dietary preferences. Overall, the hotel has potential but needs to pay more attention to detail. 🌊✨
