I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the proximity to the beautiful blue coastal waters. The staff was incredibly professional and made my mornings delightful with tea and coffee. However, the rooms did feel like they needed some repaint and were a bit too close to the elevator shaft for my liking. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, though some updates would elevate it further.

I recently stayed at a hotel that had a lovely decor but felt it could use some updates since the rooms were a bit small and showing their age. The service was absolutely incredible; the staff was attentive and always ready to help. The location wasn’t the best, as it required a car to get around, but the large, clean pool was a highlight of my stay. Overall, it offers good value for money, despite the noise issue caused by the elevator.
