Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel was a pleasant stay overall, offering modern and spacious rooms with a great view, but the dining options were limited. The service was top-notch, although a bit costly for the value provided.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The location was perfect, right by the seaside and conveniently close to everything. The rooms were cozy and spotless, and the staff offered exceptional service. On the downside, the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel is in a prime sea-side location, offering convenience and a great view of the beach. The rooms are exactly as pictured and provide a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience with limited options was a drawback. The value for money is fair, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel is in a prime seaside location, making it super convenient for beach lovers and those who enjoy a central area. The rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures, ensuring a pleasant stay, but there might be room for improvement in certain areas. The service, especially during the night shift, is top-notch with a range of amenities available, adding value to your stay. However, the dining experience, particularly for grilled fish lovers, may not be the highlight of your visit. Despite some shortcomings, the facilities cater to various needs and offer a comfortable setting for guests.
