My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location was excellent, right near the beach and shops, making it super convenient. However, the room I stayed in was very tiny and not ideal for comfort. The service was decent, but the dining experience left much to be desired, as things felt unorganized. Overall, it's a mixed bag, but I appreciated the proximity to the beach.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is amazing, with easy access to great entertainment, food, and the beach, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the rooms had some issues, like noise from the roller door and being stuffy overnight. The price is reasonable for what you get, but improvements are needed, especially in the rooms.

I had a nice stay at this hotel! The location is great since it's super close to the beach and some coffee shops. The room suited my family of six well, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. A downside was that it was above a bar that stayed open late, which wasn't mentioned when I booked. Overall, it provided good value for the price despite the noise at night.
