The hotel offers a fantastic location just a short walk from the beach, making it a perfect spot for beach lovers. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited options and average quality. The pool area was a great amenity but the lack of Wi-Fi included in the price is a bit disappointing.
