I had a wonderful stay at this hotel which is just a stone's throw from the beach. The rooms were spacious and super clean, and I was really impressed with the friendly staff who catered to my needs promptly. However, I found the dining options could use some improvement, especially during breakfast. The pool area was quite nice, but it did get crowded, and I wish the hours would cater more to adults. Overall, the value for money was good, but a couple of areas could be enhanced.
