I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by great dining options. The rooms were spotless and very cozy, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. While the breakfast could use a bit more variety, the overall experience was delightful. The pool area was clean and a perfect spot to unwind. On the downside, I found the Wi-Fi required an additional fee, which was a bit of a letdown.

Overall, the value for money felt spot on, despite the minor drawbacks.
