My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the location is stunning, right beside the beach and with lovely landscaping, the room I was given left a lot to be desired. It felt outdated and not very clean. On the bright side, the staff were fantastic and super accommodating, which helped ease some of the frustrations. Overall, the hotel has potential, but improvements are definitely needed, especially in room upkeep.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found that while the location is simply spectacular, the service could be improved. The views of the bay were a highlight for sure, and the staff were friendly and tried their best despite some challenges. However, the rooms were quite warm without air conditioning, and the dining experience left something to be desired with cold food. Overall, it was a lovely experience, but there are areas that need attention.
