The hotel is situated in an amazing location, boasting a private beach and plenty of space to relax. While the rooms offer a refreshing beach view, they do need some updates and better ventilation.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The hotel is in a great location by the beach, and the views from the room were stunning. However, the rooms could use some serious improvements as they felt outdated and lacked proper cleaning. The service was friendly overall, but I encountered some rudeness from a staff member when I was a bit late for breakfast. Dining options were extensive but pretty bland, which was disappointing. All in all, it's a decent place but definitely not ideal in certain areas.
