I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, making for a comfortable experience. The dark glasses on the sides added a touch of privacy, although I wished the bathroom offered more seclusion. The service was top-notch, with Janet, the manager, ensuring a pleasant and accommodating stay. The location, although beautiful right by the beach, might feel a bit secluded for those looking to explore the area. The dining options were exceptional, offering a variety of choices, although I felt there could be some improvements. Overall, a great value for money with amazing facilities.

The hotel is beautifully situated right at a wonderful beach, almost at the end of the nice sand beach. The rooms, though massive with great outdoor spaces, were unavailable due to maintenance, for which we paid extra. The service was exceptional, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff, always available for assistance and travel tips. The dining offered a lovely variety of fresh ingredients, but some lack in leadership was noted when owners were absent. Overall, a great location with friendly and accommodating service.

The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway, but not the best for exploring outside the resort. Dining was a delight with an array of fresh and delicious options.
