8.4/10

I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and a small coffeemaker, which was a nice touch. The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable, always ready to help. The location was perfect, with a beautiful, uncrowded beach nearby and convenient access to groceries. The only downside was the less-than-helpful attitude of some staff members.

7.8/10

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, with a small deck to relax and watch the waves, but the immediate surroundings were less than ideal with cigarette butts and noisy neighbors. The location on the beach was fantastic, providing a clean and less crowded area, but there were hints of disappointment on aspects related to the hotel itself. Overall, it offered a good value for money stay.
