My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and very spacious, making it an outstanding experience. Being right across the street from the beach offered a clean, comfortable stay with lovely balcony views of the pool, beach, and pier. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and helpful staff that truly made my stay enjoyable. The location was amazing, directly across from the beach, allowing me to hear the soothing waves crashing from my room. The dining experience, while not fancy, provided everything needed, especially for my 7 and 3-year-olds. Overall, a great stay with excellent value for money.
