I had a fantastic time at the hotel, notably the amazing service and delicious food offered. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making my stay very pleasant. The location was convenient with plenty of amenities nearby, but it would have been perfect if the area had a direct beach access. The facilities like the huge swimming pool added a lot of value to my experience, although I felt it could be a bit more family-friendly. Overall, it was a great stay and I would certainly return.

My stay at the hotel was truly memorable, thanks largely to the amazing staff who went above and beyond to make my birthday special. The property itself is neat and well-maintained, and I appreciated the extensive breakfast spread, even though the taste and management were somewhat lacking.
