I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, right by the beach, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the room was not up to par as it lacked cleanliness, and several maintenance issues were present. The staff was friendly, but some services could use improvement. Overall, it’s a convenient spot if you overlook the room conditions.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, right next to the beach, which was perfect for me. The rooms had potential with a kitchen and three beds, but they really needed a deep clean, and the trash can in the tub was quite off-putting. The service was okay, but nothing remarkable. Overall, while the price was decent, the state of the rooms definitely needs improvement.

I had a stay at this hotel that had its ups and downs. The location is absolutely fantastic, right in front of the beach and close to all kinds of shops. My room, however, needed a lot of work—there was trash in the tub, and the cleanliness just didn’t meet my expectations. Despite that, the staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience a bit better. Overall, while I appreciated the value for money, I think there’s definitely room for improvement.
