Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, perfectly located right across from the ocean and close to the shopping area. The rooms are equipped with a kitchen, making it very convenient. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience with local organic products was a delightful touch. However, the facilities could use a bit of improvement, and the price might be on the higher side for some.
I couldn't have asked for a better location for my stay, right across from the ocean and close to the shopping area. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the service was top-notch. However, the dining experience, especially the fried fish, left something to be desired. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is perfectly situated right across from the ocean, offering a superb location. The rooms are well-equipped with a kitchen and provide a comfortable stay. The service was impeccable, making the overall experience delightful. However, the dining options, although offering delicious hot wok dishes, had limited variety. The facilities were top-notch with everything well-maintained. The value for money is reasonable, but additional costs may apply for certain amenities.
