The location was perfect for exploring the city, but there was a slight noise issue during the night. The breakfast was delicious and offered a variety of fresh fruits. Overall, great value for money.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was perfect, right next to the beach and with plenty of restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Although the dining options were a bit limited, the overall experience was delightful. The well-maintained pool area added to the enjoyment of the stay, and while the price was reasonable, it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included.

The rooms are modern and luxurious, the service is top-notch, and the dining experience exceeded my expectations. However, the price was a bit on the higher side, and the Wi-Fi was not very reliable.
