I had a lovely time at the hotel, where the pool area was well-maintained and the beach was inviting for a relaxing day under the sun. The rooms were spacious and clean with nice views, but I found the dining options somewhat repetitive and lacking in quality. It’s a great option for a value stay, although some aspects like service and food quality could be improved.
