I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and had a fantastic view, but the air conditioning was not working properly, which made the stay less comfortable than expected. The amenities were modern and convenient, but the Wi-Fi was spotty and unreliable. The breakfast offered a good selection, but the restaurant was quite pricey.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, close to shops and the beach, offering great convenience. The rooms were spacious and modern but lacked additional amenities like body wash. The service was impeccable, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. However, the hotel is situated in a very isolated area with no shopping centers nearby.

The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient to explore the city. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering a comfortable stay. The service is top-notch with friendly staff. However, the lack of vegetarian options in dining was a drawback. The facilities are well-equipped with modern amenities and great views.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, right next to the beach and surrounded by fantastic restaurants. The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The only downside was the dining experience, with limited breakfast options. However, the well-kept pool area made up for it. The pricing was fair, but having to pay for Wi-Fi separately was a minor inconvenience.
