Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is a gem! The rooms are spacious and modern, with great views of the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the Wi-Fi was not included in the room rate.
I had a great time at this hotel! The location is fantastic, close to shopping centers and interesting restaurants. The rooms are spacious, clean, and come with a fridge and coffee machine to make you feel at home. The service was excellent with prompt housekeeping services available.
The hotel is conveniently located close to restaurants, offering comfortable rooms with all the essential amenities. While the service was satisfactory, the paid airport shuttle was a bit pricey. The dining options were limited, but the included toasts were a nice touch for a quick breakfast. Overall, the facilities were well-maintained, but some may find the price slightly high for the value.
