I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right next to the beach and surrounded by amazing restaurants. The rooms were impeccably clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. On the bright side, the pool area was a delightful retreat. The pricing was reasonable, but the separate charge for Wi-Fi was a minor inconvenience.
