I had a decent stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located right across from the beach. The rooms were comfortable and clean, making for a relaxing experience. However, I found the dining options to be lacking, particularly at breakfast. The facilities, especially the pool, were enjoyable, but Wi-Fi was an additional charge, which felt a bit frustrating given the overall price point.

The hotel has an unbeatable location right across from the beach, which made it super easy to enjoy the sun and surf. The rooms were nicely sized and well-kept, providing a comfortable retreat after a day out. I appreciated the friendly service, although there were moments when it seemed a bit slow. The dining options were decent, but not extensive enough for my taste. Overall, it’s a solid choice, but the dining could use a little more variety.
