Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a charming local style. The staff's kind and friendly manner made every interaction a pleasure. The location, directly on the beautiful beach, offered a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking in variety, and the facilities could use some updating.
