I had a wonderful time at this hotel, located right by the beach, making it super convenient for my seaside getaway. The rooms were spotlessly clean and quite comfortable, and the staff really went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. However, I think the breakfast offerings could use some improvement as they felt a bit limited. Despite this small hiccup, the amenities, especially the pool area, were fantastic and added a lot to my experience. The overall value for money was good, although the Wi-Fi charges were a downside.
