Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic experience at this hotel, which felt both luxurious and comfortable. The spacious and spotless rooms made my stay even better. I loved the relaxing beach atmosphere, although the dining options could use some improvement, especially the breakfast. Overall, a great place to unwind, but service could be better.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic, with a stunning beach and beautiful grounds. The staff were incredibly friendly and made my experience enjoyable, but the service fell a bit short of expectations, particularly during breakfast. The rooms were spacious and pleasant, but there were some issues with power and water outages during my visit. Overall, it's a lovely place, but they could definitely improve on the dining side and service consistency.
My week at this lovely hotel was quite pleasant overall. The beach bungalows were beautifully styled and offered stunning views, but I found the food selection to be a bit pricey and underwhelming. The pool was too cold for my liking, but the beach access was fantastic. I appreciated the friendly staff who were always willing to help, which added to my experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While it’s in a great location close to the beach and offers clean and spacious rooms, my stay was overshadowed by issues with the sea view room I booked. The service was hit or miss, with some staff being helpful and others not as engaged. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it for the high price if you're expecting a guaranteed sea view.
