nop The staff was kind and servicial, the lobby was pretty. thats it The hotel was simply not comfortable. The rooms are much smaller and more cramped than they appear in the photos, and the lighting sensor in the bathroom makes getting up during the night almost impossible without turning on extremely bright lights and waking everyone else up. Even getting to the room feels like an entire journey. The lobby is beautiful and gives a great first impression, but once you leave the lobby, the hotel feels quite dated—the hallways and rooms do not match the image presented online. I was honestly very disappointed. Don’t be fooled by the photos; this does not feel like a hotel of this category or standard. It simply does not live up to what it promises.

La piscine Le spa est payant, le parking hors de prix, savon manquant dans la chambre, du bruit de karcher au petit déjeuner le lundi à 8h du matin, propreté laisse à désirer.

VEA has always been great. This was my third stay and it never disappoints. The staff are attentive, the views are great out toward the ocean, the food options on site are great, the location is central and checks all the boxes. And the pool/fitness center are awesome! Enjoy sunsets out under the virtual coral reef while looking out over the ocean or sitting in the hot tub. I would recommend for anyone visiting the area with family or for business.
