I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely fantastic, right on the beach with stunning sunset views, and the facilities like the pool are well-kept. Unfortunately, the rooms fell short; they felt average with some plumbing issues and an air conditioning system that wasn't great. Additionally, the dining options were quite limited, lacking fresh fruit and a better variety overall.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, where the location right by the beach was definitely a highlight, perfect for enjoying beautiful sunset views. The rooms had everything I needed to be comfortable, but I noticed a bit of noise from the street and music in the hallways, which was not ideal for a restful night. Service was helpful, although not exceptional, and the dining options felt quite average. Overall, it offers good value for money, especially considering the beach access.
