My stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. While the reception staff were quite helpful and the location was amazing, I found the cleanliness of the room unacceptable, which really impacted my overall experience. Additionally, the restaurant's atmosphere was uncomfortably cold and the food overpriced, so I'd recommend exploring other options nearby.

I had a wonderful stay at this place, which was very spacious and had a charming character. It was conveniently located just across the street from the beach, making it perfect for a quick beach getaway.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, located just a minute from the beach and a couple of minutes from the bustling Main Street. The rooms were remarkably spacious and clean, perfect for a short getaway. The service was a highlight, especially when they efficiently handled our laundry for a low cost. However, the lack of air conditioning made sleeping a bit uncomfortable at times, especially during the summer heat.
