This was my second stay at Hotel Effie. It will be my last. I went down to the lobby to buy a 12 oz can of Coke this morning and they charged me $7.62, this is absolutely insane! Rented a couple of chairs and an umbrella on the beach and it was $58 for about 3 hours. At 5pm, we were told they were about to put the chairs up for the day. We had other parties on either side of us that were literally 4 inches away. Real 4 or 5 star hotels do not operate in this manner. Beds are hard. Pillows are bad. $25 a night for self parking. I am never going back to this hotel.

Quick trip last week. Looked like a cute place. Sadly, this hotel fell well below what I expected. Terrible customer service. They need to revamp the entire staff in an effort to actually seem like they care about the overall guest experience. Pool area was a mess in so many ways. People were waiting an hour for some chicken nuggets for their kids. Food in the main dining area was not as advertised online. Many other amazing choices for vacation stays in that area. Will never return.
