Reviews and Ratings
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.
