Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is just a short stroll from a beautiful sandy beach with a charming beach bar. The rooms were spacious, modern, and kept ultra clean. The service was particularly impressive, with friendly staff who went the extra mile, especially for our little ones. However, the location was a bit quiet for my taste in June, and I wish there had been a bit more variety in the dining options.
I had a lovely stay overall, with large and modern rooms that were clean. The service was incredibly accommodating, but the closet space was quite cramped. The hotel’s location was perfect by the beach, making it a relaxing getaway. Although the dining options were above average and tasty, having more variety could improve the experience. The pool area was a definite plus, and the value for money was reasonable despite the minor downsides.
