1. Checkin was very slow and some of the rooms that people had reserved didn't materialize; I ended up in a nice villa away from the beach/noise,etc, and then transferred to a room in the immediate hotel; the bell people and room service were greatcbut the people at the front desk tried and succeeded in overcharging almost everyone(or you didnt' get a room).

2. Don`t trust them; everyone else in my line either had the wrong room or beds or were overcharged.

3. Anyway, it is close to the beach but they also overcharged me and wouldn`t take off the agreed upon amount even though the desk clerk told me it when I was staying at the Parkside.

4. Hotel restaurant, which I think is called Bistro 1111, had an excellent lobster dinner, although the waiter overcharged us for our ravioli dish (we had to get the manager to fix the bill).
