Amazing stay! We’d definitely come back — we loved the rooms, the heated pools, the rooftop, the included breakfast, and the semi-private beach area with Hilton’s loungers and umbrellas. The location is perfect for walking, shopping, and enjoying restaurants and bars. Super central, and you can leave your bags on the last day to enjoy more time before heading to the airport. The cocktails and views from the rooftop are spectacular, and having a heated pool is a total win. We’ll be back!
