Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The service was top-notch, offering various amenities like housekeeping and tours assistance. The location couldn't have been better, right on the beautiful beach. The dining experience was delightful with included meals. The facilities were superb, providing everything I needed for a perfect vacation.
The hotel offers an amazing garden view from the rooms and has excellent facilities. The staff was attentive and provided outstanding service.
The hotel offers a lovely garden view and excellent facilities, but equipment could be upgraded. However, the bathroom is spacious and well-equipped. The room rate was fair but not entirely worth the money due to some equipment issues.
