I had a decent stay at this hotel, which has its pros and cons. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a wonderful view, but the service left something to be desired. The location is fantastic, right by the beach, perfect for relaxation. While the amenities were good, the dining experience could be improved as the breakfast spread was somewhat lacking. Overall, it was a fair value for money, but I wouldn’t say it's ideal.

This hotel has a great location right in front of the ocean, making it perfect for beach lovers. The rooms are decent and provide a nice view, but the service left much to be desired, feeling a bit rude at times. While the peaceful beach setting is a plus, it's not very close to tourist attractions, which could be a downside for some. Overall, it offers fair value for money considering its location and room quality.
