Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel was a fantastic find with its breathtaking beachfront location and cozy rooms. The service was top-notch, but the dining options were a bit lacking. However, the overall experience was great considering the value for money.
The hotel had a stunning location, right by the beach, and offered fantastic views. The rooms were modern and spacious, with balconies overlooking the water, but lacked a bit in terms of amenities. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff and readily available room service. However, the dining options were limited, and the facilities could use some updating. The price seemed a bit high for the overall experience.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The beachfront location was incredible, and the rooms were beautifully designed and offered amazing views. The service was top-notch, but the dining options left something to be desired. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor drawbacks.
