I had a decent stay at this hotel, situated right on the main road before entering town with private beach access. The rooms were clean and spacious, but the food was average, and the location is a bit remote from restaurants. It's a nice place for a family getaway, but don't expect luxury. The price is fair, but it could be better for the quality provided.

The hotel offers a breathtaking view of the sea, which is certainly its highlight. However, the dining experience could use improvement as the restaurant service was quite slow, especially during busy times. While the staff are courteous, the overall experience was affected by cleanliness issues in the rooms and a lack of communication regarding events that disrupt peace.
