9.6/10 Exceptional! (15 reviews)

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The room was very clean, spacious, and well-equipped with plenty of wardrobe space. I especially appreciated the small kitchen area — perfect if you want to cook your own meals. The hotel is also located in a quiet area, ideal for a peaceful and relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

8.4/10 Very Good! (88 reviews)

This room was just okay for what we paid, the laminate flooring was not in great shape. The plus was the great balcony view, staff at the reception was very helpful in arranging a beach day. Very close to the main shopping and dining area. The room was clean and the air conditioning worked well.
