We had a memorable experience during our stay, highlighted by the stunning beach and friendly atmosphere. The rooms could use some updating, but they were mostly clean and comfortable. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff being incredibly helpful while a few could definitely smile a bit more. The dining options were decent but lacked variety. Overall, it’s good value for the money considering the beautiful surroundings.
