I had a great stay overall! The hotel had a modern vibe with clean and fresh rooms, and the location was ideal, right by the beach and close to town. The staff was friendly, but I did encounter one who could use a bit more warmth. The breakfast was decent but could definitely use more variety. Overall, it’s a solid choice for the price!

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which had a lot to offer. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms did get a bit hot at night without air conditioning, and the dining options were somewhat repetitive over a longer stay. However, the location was fantastic since it was close to the beach and local shops, truly a great value for the money.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were great and exceeded my expectations, although they were a bit dark at times. The friendly staff made my experience even better, going above and beyond to assist me. The location was perfect for enjoying sunsets and was very safe to walk around, but the noise from the water system was a bit bothersome. Overall, it was a great value for money with a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was overall quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious and clean, which made for a comfortable experience. The friendly staff really stood out as a highlight, providing great local recommendations. However, I found the dining options to be somewhat limited, as the breakfast offerings were the same each day. The location was fantastic as well, being close to a nice beach and several restaurants, but a couple of service aspects could use some improvement.
