Verified Reviews of Chateau Beachfront Hotel a by The Sea Resort

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Easy beach/pool access. Mold and insects."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
The location is perfect on beach. One room didn't have towels and sticky floor. Second room had mold on ceiling and killed several large roaches. It would be fine for a night stay.
