This hotel has an amazing location right above the beach, making it super convenient for enjoying the sun and sand. The rooms are spacious and modern, and I found the staff to be very friendly. However, the dining options were a little lacking, especially at breakfast, which could use some improvement. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay, but the Wi-Fi should definitely be included with the price.
