Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was truly delightful. The room was cozy and had a little balcony with a stunning view. The service, however, could have been improved as some staff members seemed too busy chatting rather than assisting guests. The beachfront location was unbeatable, offering direct access to the beach. The dining experience, with great views, was a highlight, but the price could have been more competitive. Overall, a great choice for a relaxing beach getaway.
I had a very delightful stay at this hotel. The room was cozy with a little balcony and a single bed. The bathroom was recently renovated and really nice. Plus, having breakfast included was a great perk!
