Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms with balconies boasting the best views and they were impeccably clean. The service, from the receptionists to other staff members, was excellent. The location is super close to the beach, just a 3-minute walk away, making it ideal for beach lovers. The dining experience included delicious cakes. However, the entertainment options were far from the hotel. Overall, it's a great value for money.
I felt like I hit the jackpot with this hotel! The location is a dream, right on the beach and close to some fantastic restaurants. The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Just a tiny hiccup was the limited breakfast options. The pool area was a real gem, and the price was fair, though having to pay extra for Wi-Fi was a bit of a letdown.
