The hotel offers a lovely view of the outside from the comfortable rooms, but they are unfortunately very dirty and noisy. The service is exceptional with friendly and attentive staff. The location, although close to the beach, is undergoing renovations. The dining options are limited but satisfactory.

The hotel's rooms were a great size for our family, and the staff was attentive and helpful. However, there were some issues with bugs and noise. The service was beyond helpful and friendly, going the extra mile to please us. The location was quiet and great, but the beach is not ideal for swimming. The dining experience was international with a good variety of choices. Overall, the facilities were well-maintained and provided a pleasant stay.
