Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had a superb location close to the beach and restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy with a friendly staff. The dining experience could improve with more options, but the well-kept pool area was delightful. The value for money was reasonable, although separate payment was needed for Wi-Fi access.
My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the location was ideal. However, the dining options were limited, and the price could have been more competitive.
The hotel offers a prime location with easy access to the beach and nearby dining options. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. However, the dining experiences could use some improvement. The facilities, especially the pool area, are well-kept, and the pricing is reasonable though Wi-Fi comes at an additional cost.
