I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were of very high standard, being next to the security guard quarters was a bit unsettling. The service was extremely kind and accommodating, especially towards our fussy eater. The location was fantastic, just steps away from the gorgeous beach, but the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel is a hidden gem steps away from the ocean and offers cozy rooms with partial ocean views, although they could use a little sprucing up. The service is top-notch, especially accommodating to families with picky eaters. Its fantastic location makes it easy to explore various attractions, but dining options could be more varied.

The hotel is in a superb location steps from the ocean, offering a fantastic setting but suffers from very loud entertainment late into the night. The rooms are adequate in size but may feel crowded due to the massive furniture. The service is top-notch except for one staff member at reception. The dining experience is amazing with a huge spread but ends early. The facilities are well-maintained.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean with a lovely view of the garden and the ocean. However, I did find the room a bit pricey considering it wasn't directly on the seafront. Dinner was fine but could have offered more variety.
