Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though spacious and clean, lacked some essential amenities and storage options. The pool area with lovely hammocks was a nice touch, but there were a few hiccups like poor quality towels and limited hangers. The service was top-notch, especially accommodating my wife's food allergy, making us feel welcome and valued guests.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were extremely spacious, spotless, and conveniently located on the ground floor, allowing easy access to the pool and restaurant from our terrace. The sofa bed for the children was a nice touch. However, some improvements could enhance the overall experience.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable with a balcony, allowing easy access to the pool and restaurant. The staff were attentive, although there were a few issues with accuracy in charges. The location was excellent, just across the road from the beach, but the dining experience had some drawbacks.
