This hotel is situated in a nice area with easy access to the beach. I did enjoy some aspects like the friendly staff, but the rooms could use some updates, particularly with air conditioning and toiletries. The dining experience was moderately okay, and the additional fees for Wi-Fi were disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was lovely, right by the beach, and the staff was genuinely friendly. However, the rooms were not up to par, with no basic toiletries and an air conditioning system that struggled. While there were some nice amenities, the dining options left a lot to be desired, particularly at breakfast. Overall, it might be decent for a budget stay, but it's not ideal for those seeking comfort.

The hotel offers a wonderful location right on the beach with beautiful views and is in a nice area. Although the rooms were clean and spacious, I faced issues with the air conditioning which made it less comfortable during my stay. The service was mediocre, and while the dining experience was decent, there could be more variety. Overall, it's a good value for money considering the location, but a few improvements wouldn't hurt.
