The hotel has spacious rooms and a lovely veranda which made my stay very comfortable. However, the cleanliness left something to be desired, with some mold in the shower grout and hairs in the room. The service was accommodating but they lacked basic amenities like a first aid kit. The location was good and offered access to other beaches, but parking might add to the cost of your stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The beach access and pool were definitely highlights, and I enjoyed my time in the sun. However, the cleanliness of the rooms left a lot to be desired, and the dining experience could use some improvement. Overall, it’s a decent option if you focus on the fabulous beach and amenities, but some aspects did not meet expectations.

My stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. The service was genuinely wonderful, with the staff being super helpful and kind throughout my stay. However, the state of the rooms was disappointing as they were not clean, and I had to ask multiple times for them to be ready. The location was decent, although it was situated on a hill that wasn't clearly represented in the photos. Overall, there were some great features, but there were also significant issues that affected my experience.

I had a pleasant stay overall, with spacious and well-equipped rooms set in lovely mature gardens. The proximity to the airport was convenient, which I appreciated, though I found the nearby dining options quite limited. While the service had its moments—some nice staff members, but a few were a bit rude—it didn’t overshadow the relaxed and clean atmosphere of the hotel. It felt like a solid value for the price, but a bit more attention to the dining experience would certainly enhance the visit.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was beautiful and easy to navigate, with stunning views and well-kept surroundings. While I found the rooms to have a foul odor and not very clean, the dining experience was enjoyable with a fantastic dinner buffet. The service was hit or miss; some staff were friendly, while others seemed unhappy. Overall, it offers great views and amenities but falls short in room cleanliness and service consistency.
