Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms and a refreshing pool right outside in the gardens. The staff was always friendly and helpful, making my visit truly enjoyable. The location was excellent, situated in the busy center close to bars, the beach, and restaurants. The dining experience was a nice bonus, although there were some limitations. Overall, a great value for money option.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were basic and clean, equipped with a necessary air conditioning unit and ceiling fan, the unpleasant smell lingering in the room, possibly from the missing toilet, was a real downside. The service was helpful and friendly, with a good range of amenities provided. The location was convenient, close to the beach and right in the town center, although a bit crowded for the size of the hotel. The dining experience left much to be desired, with very limited variety and issues like poor internet and water supply. Despite some setbacks, the stay offered a reasonably good value for the money spent.
