I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's location, right on the water's edge with breathtaking views. However, the room I stayed in was small, basic, and uncomfortably hot without any cooling options. The service was inconsistent, with frequent delays in room readiness but exceptional kitchen personnel. The dining experience, while offering a good variety, fell short compared to high-end hotels. Overall, the facilities were average with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, right by the beach and away from the hustle and bustle, offering a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The service, while friendly and polite, seemed to lack a bit of efficiency and training in certain areas. The dining experience was great with a wide selection, but the cleanliness of the rooms could have been better maintained daily.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms have had a facelift and were generally comfortable, although they were not cleaned properly every day. My ground floor room, while a bit dark, was worth the extra money for the park view.

The hotel facilities were generally good, with lovely sunbeds and canopies by the beach, perfect for a relaxing day. However, some areas could benefit from better maintenance and cleanliness.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are brand new with very comfortable pillows and mattresses but lack a refrigerator. The service is enthusiastic and helpful, although there was a slight language barrier at times. The location is great, right by the beach outside of town but experiences slow service at times. The dining options are varied with fresh choices, but the adult pool area can be crowded. Overall, a good stay with some drawbacks to consider.
