Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at the hotel, with its clean and comfortable atmosphere. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff made me feel really welcome. However, I found the breakfast options a bit lacking, and the amenities could use a bit of an upgrade. Overall, it was a good value for the money, but some improvements would have made it even better.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms are modern and spacious, providing a comfortable atmosphere. The location is convenient, with several shops and dining options nearby. However, the breakfast could use more variety, and the Wi-Fi was not reliable during my visit. Overall, it offered great value for money.
I had a pleasant stay overall, with clean and spacious rooms that felt quite modern. The service was generally attentive, though there were a few hiccups. The location was convenient for exploring the area, and the dining offered some good options for breakfast. However, I found the Wi-Fi quite slow, and the pool area could use some extra lounge chairs.
I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and well-kept, and I really appreciated the comfortable bedding. The hotel’s location was super convenient, just a short walk to some amazing sights. However, the dining options could definitely use some variety, and the pool area, while nice, could have been larger. Overall, I found it to be great value for the price.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which offered clean and comfortable accommodations. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The location was perfect, close to the beach and local attractions. However, the dining experience left something to be desired as there weren't many breakfast choices. Overall, it was a great value for the price, though I wish Wi-Fi was included rather than an extra charge.
