The hotel is in a prime seaside location, making it super convenient for beach lovers and those who enjoy a central area. The rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures, ensuring a pleasant stay, but there might be room for improvement in certain areas. The service, especially during the night shift, is top-notch with a range of amenities available, adding value to your stay. However, the dining experience, particularly for grilled fish lovers, may not be the highlight of your visit. Despite some shortcomings, the facilities cater to various needs and offer a comfortable setting for guests.
