Reviews and Ratings
The hotel sits in a lovely location, right by the beach and with easy access to various dining options. The rooms are cozy and clean, although the air conditioning wasn't working during my stay. The service was top-notch, offering a range of facilities from room service to tours assistance. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking in variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few hiccups along the way.
