I had a wonderful stay at this resort! It's only a short walk to the stunning beach, which was a highlight for me. The rooms were clean and equipped with everything we needed, making it really comfortable. The staff was exceptionally accommodating, too. My only downside was that the exterior of the building doesn’t do justice to the lovely interiors. Thankfully, the overall experience made up for it!

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, making for a pleasant accommodation experience. The proximity to the beach is fantastic, but I was slightly disappointed with the dining service as it was a bit slow during peak times.

This hotel had some redeeming qualities like cleanliness and the welcoming atmosphere created by the new manager. However, the overall experience was marred by the outdated facilities and a few service issues that left me feeling a bit disappointed. The location was a highlight, being so close to the beach, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet my expectations in terms of value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. On one hand, the location is absolutely stunning, right on the beach, and the room was clean and comfortable. However, I was quite disappointed with the lack of housekeeping and the amenities promised were not fully provided, which made my stay feel less luxurious than expected. The pool area was nice but could benefit from heating, and the Wi-Fi was unreliable, which caused us some stress during an emergency.

I found the hotel to have some appealing aspects like its cleanliness and proximity to a marvelous beach. However, I was quite disappointed with the lack of services that one expects from a resort, particularly in terms of housekeeping and internet access. The overall experience felt a bit overpriced for what was offered, especially since the advertised amenities were not all available during my stay.
