My experience at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. While the location was wonderful and the staff were friendly and attentive, the room I stayed in left much to be desired. The dining options, particularly breakfast, were very limited, which was disappointing. Overall, if you're looking for a budget-friendly place, just be prepared for a few inconveniences.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, thanks to the fantastic staff and superb food. However, the room decor could use some updating, and the bed was initially very hard. It did have a lovely sociable vibe during the holiday season, which I enjoyed. The location is a bit isolated, but a quick taxi ride gets you to nearby attractions.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! The ambiance is perfect for those looking to unwind, and the service was top-notch. I was particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the rooms and the quality of the food, which was some of the best I've had. However, if you're looking for nightlife or bustling beach activities nearby, you might want to consider other options as it is a bit of a ride to the beach.

The hotel itself is clean and charming, with a pleasant pool area. The food was nice, but the daily breakfast choices were varied and tasty.

This hotel offers an absolutely fantastic experience, especially during the festive season. The owners go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels welcomed, even inviting guests for a lovely Christmas dinner. The rooms are spotlessly clean, and the service is attentive, making it a very relaxing stay. It's not your typical 5-star, but for the price, you get incredible value with excellent food and a convenient location near the beach.

The food was excellent, especially during lunch and dinner, served with a smile. However, the beds in some rooms could be a bit hard, and the hotel has a bit of a cliquey vibe among long-staying guests, which may not be ideal for everyone.

My stay was a mixed bag. The rooms were okay but the bed was incredibly hard, which made sleeping uncomfortable. While I appreciated the lovely pool area and the quiet neighborhood, the hotel feels very cliquey and not all guests were included in festive gatherings. I would consider returning to the area but would choose a different place to stay.
