I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and modern with a huge balcony outside offering a lovely view. The service was exceptional, with attentive housekeeping and a convenient shuttle service available. The location was perfect, right on the beach with added security for peace of mind. The dining experience was top-notch, especially the delightful octopus millefeuille. The facilities were excellent, providing everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
