Staying at our hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautifully appointed with a personal touch, offering a cozy lounge area and a lovely terrace. Unfortunately, we did encounter a small issue with the broken item during the evening turn-down service, but it didn't mar our stay. The service was exceptional, from the attentive staff to the General Manager, ensuring our needs were always met. The location was simply paradise, nestled right on the breathtaking beach with lush gardens surrounding us. The dining experience surpassed our expectations, especially with the fresh and delicious breakfast options. While the facilities were top-notch, we found a minor inconvenience in one broken item in the room.

Staying at the hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were perfectly designed and fully equipped to guarantee a home away from home experience. We could hear the ocean which was wonderful, and our super balcony overlooking the beach allowed us to watch fantastic sunsets every day. The traditional slat type windows did mean noise travels easily, though.
