My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and mostly clean, but I did notice some unpleasant mold in places and an unsettling bit of ant activity around the bar area. The dining options were a letdown, as the food could definitely use more variety, especially for those looking for healthier choices. Despite these drawbacks, the staff's warm welcome made me feel at home right away.

I stayed at this hotel recently, and while the location was stunning by the beach, the rooms left much to be desired. They were big and clean overall, but I encountered quite a few ants around the bar TV area, and there was mold on the ceilings too. The staff was super friendly and attentive, but the dining options were seriously lacking in healthy choices. The amenities felt a bit outdated, which was a letdown for the price I paid.
