The hotel is just a stone's throw away from the beach and conveniently close to some lovely dining spots. I found the rooms to be cozy and well-equipped, with a nice walk-in shower to freshen up. The service was top-notch, and I even got a warm welcome drink upon arrival. However, the dining options were a tad limited, and I wished for more variety. The location is superb with easy access to the gorgeous beach. Overall, it's a great value for the money.

The hotel is in a wonderful location near the beaches, although there were some disturbances with dogs barking in the restaurant during breakfast. The rooms are very comfortable with walk-in showers, but the dining experience could be more peaceful. Overall, a great spot for beach lovers.
