Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were clean and tidy, although not quite up to 5-star standards. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff ready to assist. The location was perfect for exploring the area, although I would have preferred direct beach access. The dining options were unexpectedly delicious, but it would have been ideal if they were open longer at night. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
