I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its clean and comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. The location was just perfect, being a short walk from the coast. However, the dining options were surprisingly limited and didn’t quite meet my expectations for a 5-star hotel. Overall, it offered good value for money, but I would have preferred a brighter, more spacious room.
