8.0/10

My stay at the hotel was really enjoyable with lots of fun activities and a beautiful pool area that made relaxation a breeze. The staff were incredibly friendly, making sure we felt welcomed throughout our stay. Although some of the rooms could use a little updating, the overall cleanliness and comfort made up for it. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach, but parking could be a bit tricky at times.

The dining options on-site were nice to have, but I felt the breakfast could offer a bit more variety to really impress.

The facilities, especially the pool area with its unique rock formations, were well-maintained and a highlight of my stay.

6.0/10

This hotel has a lot of potential given its location right by the beach, which is definitely a plus. However, I was really let down by the room itself, which was outdated and didn't resemble the pictures shown online. The service was also lacking, making for a less than ideal stay. On the bright side, the pool area was lovely and I appreciated the beach access, but overall, I would have expected better for the price I paid.
