Although the room was smaller than expected and unfortunately had cockroaches, the cleanliness was better than at the sister hotel. I missed having a microwave and a smoking area for me, but the terrace was a nice touch. The service was outstanding as they really went out of their way to ensure we were settled in comfortably, despite some minor issues with food refills. The location is superb, right across the beach and close to everything one might need, even if it's away from some major attractions. The dining experience was average, and while the facilities are basic, they fit the price paid.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, right by the beach and within easy reach of all I needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they weren't quite ready on time. The service was exceptional from the reception to housekeeping. The dining experience was superb overall, though lacking a bit in a specific dish. The facilities were great, but not perfect.

My stay at the hotel was delightful! The location is amazing with the beach just across the road and the rooms were clean, comfy, and warm enough on a cold night. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. However, the dining experience had some issues with flies around the chopped fruits and muffins. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel is in a wonderful beachfront location with breathtaking ocean views. The rooms were spotlessly clean and smelled lovely throughout our stay, although there was a minor discrepancy from the online images. The service was mostly friendly, with a standout breakfast experience. However, there was an unfortunate incident of staff mistreatment witnessed during breakfast. The dining options were generally good but could use some enhancement. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, though a bit small compared to the pictures I saw online, were clean and welcoming, except for the old and recycled cleaning equipment in a corner. It was a downside that there were no phone or two-pin plug nor USB port for charging. The service was friendly and most things were on point, but they weren't always as friendly as expected, and there were occasional lapses in cleanliness. The location was excellent, right on the waterfront, with a lovely view of the beach. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some delicious meals but a lack of menu variety. The facilities were satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, right on the beachfront, and offered great views. The service was friendly but could be more attentive in certain aspects. The dining options were limited and breakfast hours were inconvenient. The rooms were decent but had some noise issues and could have been cleaner.
