Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in an amazing location right by the beach, with everything within walking distance. The rooms are comfortable with their own Netflix, adding a nice touch to the stay. The service was exceptional, making me feel truly valued as a guest. However, the dining was just average, even though the dishes were extraordinary. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor downsides.
