I had an experience that was quite mixed at this hotel. While the staff were genuinely warm and attentive, the dining options left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price. The rooms were spacious, but I faced issues with the air conditioning. The pool area looked inviting, but I worried about its cleanliness. Overall, I'd say the standards didn’t quite reflect a true 5-star experience.

I found my stay to be quite enjoyable, especially due to the excellent service from the staff who were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to assist us. The hotel rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, making for a comfortable experience. However, I did encounter some issues with air conditioning that were less than ideal. While the facilities looked appealing, I wish there had been more amenities available nearby for easy access.

The hotel is quite pleasant overall, with lovely spacious rooms and a nice atmosphere. The breakfast was decent and the staff were kind and helpful. However, parking was a nightmare during my stay, which dampened the experience significantly. While I enjoyed my time, the parking situation was frustrating, especially for a hotel of this caliber.

The pool area was relaxing, although small for the size of the hotel. It was still enjoyable for a day of soaking up the sun.

I stumbled upon this hotel when my flight got canceled, and I have to say, the experience was quite a mix. The staff really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome during a stressful time. The grounds are beautiful, and the pool area is very inviting, but I ran into some issues with air conditioning and parking. Overall, it was a decent stay thanks to the great staff and facilities, but some aspects could definitely use improvement.

The hotel isn't right on the beach, and while they provide a shuttle, I found it a bit inconvenient to walk 1.5 km to the shore. Nearby dining options were pleasant, but I had to rely on taxis for other excursions.

The pool area is a highlight, with a relaxed vibe and great service for snacks and drinks. However, the lack of available parking was a real downside when it came to accessibility.
