Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located directly on the beach in a stunning area, offering beautiful views and excellent tours. The rooms, although small and experiencing heat issues, are situated conveniently on the ground floor. The service, while mostly friendly and talkative, addressed multiple room issues promptly. The dining experience, despite the presence of wasps due to off milk and croissant, had a fruit plate, egg, coffee, tea, and fresh fruit juice available in the morning. The hotel boasts great beach facilities and is set around a lovely pool area.
Staying on the second floor with a beautiful ocean view was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were very comfortable, bright, and spacious, especially in the morning light, with the 2 double beds we had booked. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind, even going the extra mile to decorate the room beautifully and thoughtfully, which we truly appreciated. The hotel's location directly on the beach was a highlight, offering a peaceful setting yet still conveniently close to several restaurants. The dining, particularly the breakfast with a variety of options including a fruit plate, eggs, coffee, tea, and fresh fruit juice, stood out as one of the best experiences we've had during our travels. The facilities were well-maintained and enhanced our overall stay. Prices were reasonable, making it a great value for the money.
