I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning beach nearby. The rooms are spacious and incredibly comfortable, making it a nice place to unwind. The staff, especially the hotel manager Ricardo, are extremely friendly and accommodating. However, the dining options could use some improvement as breakfast wasn't as varied as I hoped. Overall, it's a great deal for a relaxing getaway.

I had a lovely experience at this hotel. It boasts a great location with stunning views, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and attentive, although I did encounter some noise from neighbors at times. The breakfast was good but didn't have the unique flair I was hoping for. Overall, it was a great value for the price, just a few minor hiccups.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious, clean, and came with a handy Nespresso machine, which I really appreciated. However, I did notice some dust and had to request a few basic items that should have been there from the start. Also, the noise from neighboring rooms was a bit bothersome, so I recommend asking for corner rooms to avoid that.
