I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the resort. The beach and pool area were just perfect for a relaxing time, and the staff truly went out of their way to help us. The value for money at around $100 per night was excellent for the amenities provided. However, being a bit isolated meant there weren't many nearby options for dining or shopping, so plan accordingly.

Las Olas offers a relaxing and affordable beachfront experience. The restaurant is truly exceptional, serving delicious local meals, and the oceanfront views are stunning. However, the rooms are quite basic and in need of some updates. Additionally, the lack of a fridge or coffee maker was a bit inconvenient for early risers like me.
