Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. However, the dining options left much to be desired, and the Wi-Fi was not included in the price.
The hotel has seen better days with outdated rooms not matching online pictures, some cleanliness issues, and general wear & tear. Despite our attempts to address concerns, they were not adequately resolved. However, the location was fantastic on the beach, offering natural beauty despite needing updates.
The resort is nestled within a beautiful setting, offering fantastic accommodation with some room for improvement. The service was accommodating, yet there were some minor setbacks. The location couldn't have been better for a serene getaway, though dining had its shortcomings.
