My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. The location is superb, right by the beach and with plenty of restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. On the downside, the dining experience left something to be desired, especially with limited breakfast options. Despite that, the well-kept pool area added to a memorable experience, making the price quite reasonable although the Wi-Fi came at an extra cost.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The room was spacious and had a small kitchen, making it super convenient for my stay. The service was top-notch with friendly staff always ready to assist. The location was perfect, close to the beach and just a short walk from great restaurants. Dining was a delight with fresh, made-from-scratch pizza available. However, the facilities were a bit dated which was a minor downside. Overall, great value for money!
