I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The highlight for me was the heated rooftop pool, where I could relax and enjoy stunning views. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and the cleanliness throughout the hotel was impressive. I wished there were more dining options during dinner, but the food I had was delicious. The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions, but I would have loved to be just a bit closer to the beach itself.
