I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the room was spacious and clean, which was a big plus. The staff was very helpful, but I found the dining options a bit lacking. The location was great, close to the beach and shops, but some noise from construction work was noticeable. Overall, there's good value for money, yet it might not be the ideal spot for those seeking a quiet retreat.
