I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location couldn't be better, right next to a beautiful beach and surrounded by fantastic restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining choices were a bit limited. The pool area was a highlight, well-maintained and perfect for relaxing.
