I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at this hotel, with its beautiful beach right outside my door and various dining options just a stroll away. The rooms were impeccably clean and quite spacious, making for a comfortable retreat. While the staff was helpful, some were a bit shy, which made it feel less personal. The dining experience was satisfactory, though I wished for more variety in breakfast. Overall, this place is a great value for the price, especially with the amenities offered.
