    The location of the hotel was perfect, right on the beach and close to various water activities. We had a stunning view from our room and it was so convenient to just step out and be on the beach in seconds. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, they made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options, from fresh fruits to eggs to cereals, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

    The rooms were in need of some renovations. The air conditioning was not working properly and we had to sleep with the windows open.

    I had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel. The first thing that impressed me was the terrific location right by the beach. It was so convenient to have the beach just a few steps away, allowing me to enjoy the beautiful ocean whenever I wanted. The hotel itself was relatively small, which gave it a sense of privacy and quietness that I really appreciated. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests. The basic amenities in the room were satisfactory, with the added bonus of having AC to keep cool during the hot days. The room also had a lovely balcony where I could relax and enjoy the view. Additionally, the breakfast provided by the dedicated chef offered some variety and was included in the rate, making it a good value for money.

    All in all, my experience at this hotel was fantastic and I couldn't find any major flaws.
