The hotel is right on a lovely long sandy beach, ideal for leisurely walks, but lacks modern updates compared to some nearby resorts. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with double beds, though not what we expected. The service is hit or miss, with some staff going above and beyond while others are outright rude. The dining options are satisfactory but fall short of the quality found at other similar resorts. On the upside, the location offers a relaxing beach experience and friendly staff members enhance the overall stay.
