The hotel is in a great location, just a few steps away from the bustling beach street, which adds to its charm. The rooms were generally clean and spacious, although we had some issues with air conditioning. The staff were nice and accommodating, especially when we needed to switch rooms. However, the service can be affected by specific individuals, as we had a negative experience with management. Overall, it’s a solid stay for families looking for a comfortable vacation.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, right by the beach, and the staff were really accommodating.

Overall, it was a mixed experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is fantastic, just steps away from the bustling beach, the overall service left much to be desired. The rooms, though clean, felt quite small and more like a basic budget accommodation. I was really disappointed with the dining options and pricing, which seemed excessive for the quality. Ultimately, I'd think twice before recommending this place to others.
