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.
