Reviews and Ratings
Overall, this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and comfortable with balconies, but the beds were only partially cleaned. The service was friendly at check-in and check-out, but the value for the price paid was lacking. The location was convenient with nearby restaurants and shops, but the dining experience fell short. However, the hotel facilities were satisfactory despite some drawbacks.
What a delightful stay! The hotel is perfectly situated, just a stone's throw away from the beach and surrounded by charming restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The only downside was the somewhat limited dining options, but overall a fantastic experience with great value.
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The room had a stunning bayview with 2 queen beds listed on my reservation, offering a great view of the surroundings. The check-in and check-out service was top-notch, and the location was perfect for exploring other nice places even though it was a bit long to get to the beach. The dining experience was included with light snacks and the facilities were fantastic. It was a fabulous stay overall, with just a few minor drawbacks to consider.
