The hotel offers a comfortable stay with great service and a convenient location near the beach. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with a huge bed but lacking AC. The restaurant provides excellent service, but there are issues with the price for laundry services. However, the hotel's location near a supermarket and by the beach makes up for it.

This hotel is a true gem! It's located right on a beautiful beach and conveniently close to various dining options. The rooms are impeccably clean and boast a wonderfully wide and comfortable bed. The staff goes above and beyond, especially at the restaurant where their exceptional service shines through with big smiles. The only downside is the lack of varied dining choices, although the nibbles available are enjoyable. On the bright side, the facilities are top-notch and well-maintained, making it a great value for money.
