I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with its clean and comfortable rooms and a very friendly staff. The location couldn't be better, just a short walk to the beach and local restaurants. However, the dining options, especially at breakfast, left something to be desired. Overall, it’s a good value for money considering the amenities offered.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and many great restaurants. The rooms were clean and had air conditioning, but I did notice some tiny insects on the bed, which was pretty off-putting. Service was a bit lackluster; while some staff members were nice, I felt they could have been more attentive. Overall, it’s decent value for the area, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
