I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its stunning beachfront location and proximity to great dining options. The rooms were cozy and spotless, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The only drawback was the limited breakfast choices. On the bright side, the pool area was exceptionally well-kept, adding to the overall experience. While the price was reasonable, it was disappointing to find out Wi-Fi came at an extra cost.
