My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was excellent, just a few steps from the sea and restaurants, but the rooms had some issues like cockroaches and leaks. The service was friendly and helpful, but there were some hiccups with handling deposits. The dining experience was not the best, but the facilities were decent overall.

The hotel offers a beautiful location by the beach and convenient access to transport. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, but lacking amenities like microwaves and fridges. The service is a mix of unprofessional behavior and friendly, helpful staff. The dining experience provides some healthy choices but feels overpriced. Overall, a good value for money option with a few drawbacks.

When I first entered the hotel, everything seemed fine, but then I found the rooms to be cold, dirty, and the bathrooms smelling of urine. The staff was a bit stiff, and the noise was unbearable. On top of that, it was very expensive and you had to pay extra for breakfast.

Upon arrival, the room smelled of cigarette and felt stuffy, not as advertised, and with water everywhere in the bathroom. However, the location is perfect, very close to the beach, and the manager is a breath of fresh air. The dining experience had ups and downs, with lovely options but poor quality for the price.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The location is convenient, close to the beach, but not directly on it, which is good for avoiding noise. The rooms were well-maintained and clean, providing a comfortable stay. Some improvement is needed in the dining experience, as it fell below expectations in terms of the standards. The presence of visible security in the outside area added to my peace of mind.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, neat, and offered a beautiful outside view. However, it would be even better if they had a bar fridge like most places. The service was friendly and accommodating, but there were some delays and maintenance issues that needed attention. The location was great for beach access and safety, despite some noise disturbances. The dining experience was superb with excellent choices, though a better view could enhance it. The facilities were top-notch overall.
