I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The location is superb, just across the street from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The rooms were cosy but a bit small, equipped with a kitchenette and some had balconies. The service was top-notch with a very helpful and friendly staff. The dining experience, especially the yummy Pork Belly, was delightful. The facilities were great, and I enjoyed my time by the pool. Overall, a great value for the price.
