The hotel offers a really nice stay with clean and spacious rooms that provided great comfort. The location is superb, being close to several beautiful beaches. However, the dining options, especially for breakfast, could use a bit more variety, and the Wi-Fi isn't complimentary, which was slightly disappointing. Overall, it’s a solid value for what you pay.
