I wanted this place initially from the Expedia listing and the photos. Overall great place / we ended up back in the area and spent a couple nights here. Outdoor dining on the ocean/sea waterfront was great! Staff was excellent and we enjoyed the pool. The place needs some touch up / the rooms need an overhaul and it's obvious that the finishers in this place either didn't finish or the finish work failed in the rooms and other areas. Easily fixable. Would stay again.

The surrounding are so nice and relaxing, easy to get an Bolt if you want to go somewhere else. The pool area is to die for, beautiful pool, clean. I will absolutely come again. The rooms are nice, but I missed a wardrobe I was there for 2 weeks so it’s nice to be able to hang your clothes, payed for an upgrade (balcony) this room was very damp when I shut of the ac, and the doors for the balcony was almost impossible to open. everything is very expensive, the kitchen forgot the sauce every time we ordered something and it didn’t matter what the menu said you’d get tartar sauce. It took me about 20-25 min to check out, and I got a huge bill for stuff I had not bought, I paid everything I bought emidietly, nothing on credit. He was nice about it and it got solved. I recommend The Giraffe any day of the week just for its surroundings and pool
