This hotel blows me away with its king-sized rooms that are spacious beyond comparison and offer a great view. Plus, who can resist relaxing in a hammock right in the room? On the downside, the price might be a bit steep for some.

I loved my stay at the hotel! The location was amazing, right by the beach and next to some great restaurants. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The facilities, especially the pool area, were well-kept and enjoyable. The price was fair, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included.
