I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. On one hand, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, which really made my stay enjoyable. The location is fantastic, being right next to the beach, but the rooms left a lot to be desired, especially the bathrooms. While the dining was decent, it didn't stand out as anything special. Overall, it had its ups and downs, making it an average stay.

I stayed at this hotel and while it had a great location right across the street from the beach and the service was friendly and attentive, the rooms left a lot to be desired. I struggled with noise from the kitchen and found the bathroom to be uncomfortably small. The dining options were also not up to par, which was disappointing. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you're looking for a place near the beach, but don't expect too much in terms of comfort and food.

The hotel has a great location right next to the beach, which I absolutely loved. The staff was friendly and attentive, making my stay comfortable. However, the room I stayed in had a very cramped bathroom that felt more like a cupboard, and the noise from the kitchen was quite disruptive, especially for someone like me who needs a quiet environment to sleep. Overall, it’s a decent place but could use some improvements.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is excellent, just steps away from the beach, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. However, the room's bathroom was uncomfortably small, and noise from the kitchen could be bothersome for light sleepers.

The hotel has a fantastic location right next to the beach, and I found the staff to be incredibly friendly and helpful during my stay. However, the room situation was a bit tricky due to the small bathroom and noise coming from the nearby kitchen. Dining is hit or miss, so I suggest exploring other options nearby. Overall, it's a decent stay if you're looking for great access to the beach and friendly service.
