I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which boasted a beautiful view of the beach and was conveniently located close to restaurants and shops. The rooms were spacious and nicely equipped, although I found the overall dining experience lacking in variety. The amenities were decent, but the Wi-Fi connection was spotty. Overall, it was good value for money, but a bit more attention to the dining options and Wi-Fi would have made it perfect.
