I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, as the rooms felt like beautiful little bungalows and were equipped with a full fridge and microwave, which made it convenient. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, but I did have some trouble with their communication, as they didn’t answer phone calls. The location had its highs and lows; the views were breathtaking, but I was disappointed by the awful smell from seaweed that lingered all day. Overall, it offered good value for money, but some aspects could use improvement.

I had a pretty nice stay overall! The hotel is in a fantastic location with beautiful beach access and plenty of fabulous restaurants nearby. The rooms were spacious and had a great little patio area, but mine didn’t have an ocean view, which was a bit disappointing. The staff at the beach bar and grill were terrific and really made my time enjoyable, although some other staff members could be more friendly. The dining options left a lot to be desired, especially for breakfast, which wasn’t worth the price. Still, the pool area was enjoyable and not overcrowded.
