I couldn't have asked for a better hotel location; it's right by the beach and close to restaurants. The rooms are spotless and cozy, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. While the AC kept things cool, it's unfortunate that the fridge was missing in the room. The price was fair given the amenities, but I expected more value for money.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. However, the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms was a downside. The location was convenient, close to the city center and just a stone's throw away from the sea. The breakfast with fresh fruit juices was a delightful touch, but the homemade marmalade was a bit disappointing.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! The location is just perfect, being right beside the beach and close to many restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired as the breakfast options were limited. The facilities, especially the pool area, were well-maintained and enjoyable. The price was reasonable, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included instead of having to pay for it separately.

The hotel is perfectly located, offering a mix of pros and cons. The rooms are clean, comfy, and come with air conditioning, but there is room for improvement on pricing.
