William
The hotel's location near the beach was perfect for our family. We were able to easily walk to the beach and enjoy the beautiful views without any hassle. Additionally, being close to everything without the noise was a huge plus. We had access to restaurants, bars, and shops, but still enjoyed a peaceful and quiet stay. The staff at this hotel were friendly and provided great service, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. The basic amenities in our room, including the indoor kitchenette and good air conditioning, were convenient and made our stay comfortable. We also appreciated that breakfast was included, allowing us to start our day with a tasty meal.
All was satisfactory.
