I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff was incredibly helpful and the location was fantastic with easy access to the beach, the accommodations left a lot to be desired. On one hand, the view from my room was stunning and the beach ambiance was soothing. On the other hand, I faced multiple issues with the room's facilities, which really affected my stay. It felt like I paid more than what I got in terms of comfort and amenities.
