Reviews and Ratings
The hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways but also had a few drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and clean, the service was exceptional, and the location was convenient. However, the dining options were not as impressive as I had hoped, and the facilities could use some improvements.
The hotel has an unbeatable location right on the seafront, opposite the sea. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering great views. The service is top-notch with friendly staff always ready to assist. However, the dining options could be more varied, and the Wi-Fi comes at an additional cost.
The hotel is situated right opposite the sea, offering a breathtaking view and convenient access to local events. The rooms are modern and well-equipped, but the dining options were limited. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the stay pleasant.
