I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and filled with thoughtful touches, and the free snacks were a nice surprise. The service was top-notch, and they even helped me arrange a car hire for exploring the area. The location was perfect, close to the shoreline and within walking distance of many good restaurants. The dining experience was delightful with individual freshly brewed Starbucks coffee included. However, the facilities were a bit dated, which was a minor downside.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the beach and surrounded by restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. On the downside, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. The overall experience was great with a well-maintained pool area, though the Wi-Fi being an extra cost was a bit disappointing.
