The hotel has a great beachside location, perfect for enjoying the sun, but my room was a bit smaller than expected. The amenities make for a very comfortable stay, and the staff was welcoming. I appreciate the value for money, especially with access to the pool and restaurant options, but the Wi-Fi situation leaves room for improvement since it wasn't complimentary.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel, which is conveniently located near the beach and not too far from various entertainment options. My room was both clean and modern, offering a comfortable stay overall. The dining experience, however, could use some improvement as there weren't many options available. The amenities were good, particularly the pool area, but I found the Wi-Fi situation a bit frustrating as it wasn't included in the price.
