I had a lovely stay at this hotel, especially given its fantastic beachfront location and proximity to a seafood restaurant next door. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and I appreciated the cleanliness. However, be prepared for some noise from the nearby restaurant. Overall, it was a great value for money, but the Wi-Fi could be better.
