My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful, with the stunning beach just a few steps away and beautiful views from my room. The staff made my experience unforgettable, especially with their warmth and attentiveness. However, the food could use improvement, as the restaurant offerings felt a bit lackluster and the dining options were not up to par with the rest of the experience. Overall, it's a great choice if you're looking for a relaxing getaway with some fantastic highlights.

This hotel offers a stunning stay with beautiful grounds and a breathtaking beach view. The staff is incredibly attentive and ensures that guests feel welcomed and comfortable. While the dining experience has room for improvement, particularly with varied food options, the overall atmosphere makes it a wonderful choice. Just a heads-up on the check-in process and room management, as it could be more efficient.

The hotel offers a stunning beachfront view which truly elevated our stay. The pool area was inviting, and the breakfast spread was fantastic! However, the overall ambiance felt a bit worn down, and the gym left much to be desired. Additionally, the difficulty in securing beach loungers due to early reservations by other guests was quite frustrating.

Rooms

The rooms had a charming old-school appeal, but the lack of modern touches made them feel somewhat dated. Despite having a spacious layout, our first room was quite far from the main amenities and unfortunately didn't even include a wardrobe.

The pool was well-maintained and clean, but the gym was small and not very inviting, leading me to prefer running on the beach instead.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is beautiful and the views are stunning, which made my stay feel luxurious. However, the service was sometimes lacking, with staff not being as attentive as expected. The dining options were decent but could have been better. Overall, the place has potential but needs improvement in service and food variety.

The hotel offers a beautiful beach and a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. The rooms can vary significantly; our first one left much to be desired, while the later upgraded room was excellent. The service was spotty; while some staff members were helpful, others seemed indifferent. Dining options were decent but could use more variety. Overall, with some improvements, it could transform into an excellent getaway.
