We stayed at this hotel and found it to be a bit of a mixed bag. While the location is fantastic with easy access to the beach and local restaurants, the cleanliness of our room left much to be desired. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the room itself was dusty, which affected our comfort during the stay. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but cleanliness is a big concern.

The room was quite dusty and not as clean as it should have been, which was disappointing. It definitely needs a deep clean to improve comfort.

Facilities were alright, but the pool area is shaded in the afternoon, making it too cold to enjoy. The hallways leading to the rooms were inadequately lit.

My stay was a bit mixed. The location was fantastic, close to the beach and restaurants, making it very convenient. However, the room was quite dated and had a musty smell, which was disappointing. While the amenities included a nice pool and spa, the condition of the unit made it feel less enjoyable overall.

I had a great stay overall with a spacious apartment featuring a fantastic rooftop balcony, spa, and barbecue. The staff was consistently helpful and polite, making for a pleasant experience. However, my enjoyment was impacted by the bright security light outside the bedroom, which disrupted my sleep, as well as some minor issues with the TV. Despite that, the location was perfect for beach access and dining options nearby, providing great value for the money.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach and various shops. However, the accommodations felt quite worn and in need of updates. The service was decent, but maintenance issues marred the overall comfort. While the pools were nice, overall, I felt there were better options available in the area.

I had a very disappointing experience during my stay. The location was fantastic, providing easy access to the beach and various shops, but the room was nothing like I expected. It was outdated and didn't match the pictures at all. Although the staff was friendly, the room cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired. Overall, there's potential, but significant improvements are needed to justify the price.
