The hotel offers a relaxing atmosphere with clean, comfortable rooms and a welcoming vibe. I loved the pool area, which was nicely maintained, making it a great spot to unwind. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired due to limited breakfast options. Overall, the location was perfect for accessing the beach, but the Wi-Fi being paid was a slight downside.
