Frommer's Review
Formerly Royal Gardens, this quiet, elegant boutique hotel, tucked away on a tree-lined side street, was purchased in 2007 and as we went to press, plans for a "quiet" multi-million-dollar renovation (no structural changes) were being considered. Rates went up considerably: The standard room rate went from $150 to $185 and deluxe rooms jumped from $250 to $350, a bit of a stretch for new furniture, carpets, and drapes. Since the beach is a few blocks away, about a 10-15 minute walk, if you can get a deal or a package on the Internet, take it; otherwise, $350 for a deluxe room is high for this location.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; lounge; 2 freshwater outdoor pools (1 w/cascading waterfall); small fitness room; 2 Jacuzzis; 2 saunas; small business center; coin-op washer/dryers; laundry service; dry cleaning

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
