9.2/10

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location couldn't be better, right on the beach and close to some fantastic restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast choices. The facilities, especially the pool area, were well taken care of and enjoyable. The price was fair, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included.
