My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The service was good; the staff was friendly and accommodating, but they could put more effort into cleaning the common areas. The location was perfect, right on the beach, allowing us to enjoy our coffee on the adjacent pier to see amazing sunrises every morning. The dining experience was a mix of underwhelming breakfast options and some amazing dishes. Overall, a decent stay with some areas for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and some downsides. The classic beach-style rooms had a slight odor at times but the newly done wood floors added a nice touch. Unfortunately, there was a brief inconvenience with the lack of bar soap due to delayed deliveries. On the bright side, the tranquil decor was relaxing and soothing.
