I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, just a stone's throw away from the beach and surrounded by charming restaurants. The rooms were cozy and spotless, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. On the flip side, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited breakfast options. The pool area was a highlight, well-kept and perfect for relaxation. The pricing was fair, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from the expansive beach and surrounded by fantastic dining options. The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The only drawback was the slightly limited breakfast choices. The pool area was a delightful retreat, and while the price was fair, the separate Wi-Fi charge was a tad inconvenient.

I loved my stay at this hotel! It's perfectly located near the beach and surrounded by charming shops and restaurants. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, especially with limited breakfast options. On the bright side, the facilities, like the well-kept pool area, were fantastic, and the price was reasonable despite having to pay extra for Wi-Fi.
