The hotel has a lovely setup, with clean rooms and a truly stunning view. The staff are friendly and helpful, making my stay pleasant overall. However, I found the breakfast options to be lacking and a bit repetitive. The location is great as it's close to the beach, but the dining could use improvement. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there's certainly some room for enhancement.
