The hotel offers a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The room was overall cozy and well-equipped, but there were some issues throughout the entire space that made it not quite like a typical bedroom. However, the friendly service and excellent location made up for these shortcomings.

The service was pleasant overall, particularly with the maintenance team and Michelle at the front reception. However, there were instances of interactions with permanent residents that weren't ideal. The staff checked in with guests, but seemed less interested in feedback on cleanliness.

The hotel offers tired decor in the rooms, with a dated bathroom and stained carpet. The pool view from the balcony might require some leaning over while maintaining privacy. The staff was friendly and helpful. Location is fantastic, right across the beach with a tranquil setting.

I was delighted with the incredible location of the hotel, right next to the beach and surrounded by numerous restaurants. The rooms, while spacious and featuring convenient amenities like a washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher, left something to be desired in terms of cleanliness and maintenance compared to the photos shown.

Rooms
7.0
The rooms felt like a glass box, spacious, and the bed was comfortable. However, they could have done with a thorough clean. The old stained carpet, worn curtains, and dated furniture didn't quite match the expectations set by the photos.
Service
5.0
The service was lacking, with staff being defensive and disinterested, almost aggressive when handling issues. They seemed to be doing the bare minimum in terms of customer care, which led to some last-minute inconveniences like needing to organize a taxi myself.
Location
9.0
The location couldn't have been better! Right by the beach with a plethora of restaurants around, it felt like a wonderland with trees all around. A great spot for kids to play while adults enjoyed a relaxing time before dinner.
Dining
6.0
Dining options were a bit limited, with breakfast either made in the room or a cafe next door where you could redeem a voucher for a free cooked breakfast. It would have been nice to have more variety.
Facilities
6.0
The facilities were decent, offering basic amenities like a pool and convenient services such as laundry. However, given the overall experience, I expected a bit more for the value.
