Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had spacious and well-designed rooms, but they were affected by frequent power outages. The cleanliness was commendable, yet some furniture showed signs of wear and dirt. The service was a mix of unhelpful and friendly encounters. The location was peaceful but a bit far from the main attractions. The dining offered basic options without much variety. Despite some shortcomings, the overall experience was satisfactory.
I found the hotel to be in a good location by the beach, offering a quiet atmosphere away from the noise. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but some furniture seemed worn. The staff, especially at the front desk, was incredibly nice and helpful. However, the maintenance of the pool could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location was great, close to the beach and some restaurants. The rooms, though big and clean, had a horrible mildew stench. The dining options were basic, and some maintenance issues affected the water quality at the nearby beach.
