The hotel offers a spacious room with a balcony, fridge, and microwave - great for storage, but cleanliness left doubts. The lack of hot water was a downside. However, the amenities like Dove body wash made up for it.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were pretty dirty for the most part, they did come with a cute back door balcony area to sit outside and relax. It was a letdown because of the cleanliness issues. The front of the hotel was lovely, offering a microwave and a little fridge in the room for added convenience.

The rooms were pretty dirty overall, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the back door balcony was a nice touch, and having a microwave and fridge in the room was convenient.

Service

The service had its ups and downs. The staff were extremely loud at times, neglecting the breakfast hall and leaving empty items behind. However, they did fix issues quickly when informed, and I found them to be friendly, especially the breakfast attendant.

Location

The location of the hotel was perfect for beach lovers, as it was right across the street from the beach. The presence of a rectangular pool along with smaller round pools added to the charm. On the downside, the lack of Wi-Fi was a notable drawback.

Dining

9.0

The dining experience was a pleasant surprise as it exceeded my expectations. The food was super and just exceptional, especially the cheese rolls. However, it was a shame that this exceptional experience ended right before breakfast was over.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel's facilities were nice overall, with well-maintained pools suitable for relaxation. However, the absence of Wi-Fi was a notable missing feature.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, just a stone's throw from the beach with easy access to restaurants. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. While the dining experience had some hiccups with limited breakfast options, the well-maintained pool area made up for it. The price was reasonable, but keep in mind that Wi-Fi is an additional cost.
