I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the location is perfect right in front of a beautiful beach, and the staff was generally very kind and helpful. However, the rooms could really use a refresh; some areas seemed quite dated and not very clean. The pool could also use some maintenance as it was not in the best condition, which was disappointing. Overall, it has potential but there are definitely some areas needing improvement.

I had a decent stay at the hotel overall. The location is absolutely stunning, right on the beach with beautiful views and a lovely garden. The room I booked was a bit small and dark, which was a letdown, especially since it didn't match what I expected. The service was nice; the staff was genuinely kind and helpful. However, the breakfast options were repetitive, making dining a little less exciting. Overall, it was good value, but there were definitely a few areas for improvement.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at this hotel, with spacious rooms and a beautiful ocean view that made each morning special. The location right in front of the beach was idyllic, making it easy to soak in the sun. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, particularly at breakfast where quality was an issue. Overall, it was a good value for money, but the dining could be improved.

My stay was enjoyable, especially with the beautiful beach right in front of the hotel. The rooms are spacious, but they could really use a refresh and a bit more thorough cleaning. The service was outstanding; the staff was always eager to help. However, the dining experience was rather underwhelming with the same breakfast every day. The pool area felt neglected, which was disappointing.
