I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its stunning ocean views. The room was modern and spacious, making it a comfortable retreat. However, the dining options were a bit limited, especially for breakfast. The staff was accommodating, but there were some delays in service during peak times. Overall, it's a great value for the price, yet there are some areas that could use improvement.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel, which featured modern and spacious rooms that made me feel right at home. The service was excellent, especially the housekeeping staff, who kept everything spotless. While I loved the beach proximity, I wish the dining options were a little more varied for breakfast. All in all, it’s a great value for the price, but the Wi-Fi situation was a letdown since it wasn’t included.
