The hotel had a wonderful and welcoming ambiance. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, but lacked thorough dusting and daily vacuuming. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, though some bar staff could improve. The location was beautiful, but a bit secluded. The dining experience offered delicious and varied options in a different area of the hotel. Overall, a great stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers nice views near the beach, but some room maintenance issues like falling shower heads and missing light bulbs. The service can be a bit cumbersome with payment arrangements required upfront. The location is convenient with beautiful surroundings, but swimming in the sea is not possible. The dining experience is satisfactory with varied menus, but limited options for small kids.
