7.8/10

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. Being only about 45 steps from the beach was amazing, especially considering the great price I paid. The room was plain but very clean, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job of keeping everything in order.

Rooms

Location

I loved the location of the resort. It was quiet, lush, and right by the ocean, though the noise from nearby construction was a drawback.

The dining options were good, but slightly expensive. The ribs were delicious, but I wish breakfast started earlier.

7.6/10

Staying at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, they were on the smaller side with no windows, which felt a bit cramped. The service, on the other hand, was fantastic; the staff was super nice and friendly, and the property was well-maintained with beach chairs and hammocks available. The location was excellent, close to a great beach but the price for a room without a view seemed high. Dining options were limited and not served hot, dampening the overall experience.
