This hotel is fantastic! Right next to the beach and surrounded by great restaurants. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The dining experience could use some improvement, though. The pool area is well-maintained and a great place to relax. The pricing is fair, but Wi-Fi comes at an extra cost.
