Reviews and Ratings
I had such a wonderful time at this hotel! The bungalow-style rooms with a little garden and a private patio with a garden view were perfect for us, especially for the kids who could enjoy it free of charge. The service and location were top-notch, right at the beach with easy access to nearby attractions. Dining was enjoyable, and the facilities were everything we needed for a fantastic stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The atmosphere is so relaxing and perfect for families. The rooms are beautifully designed with a private patio and a small garden that the children can use for free. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The service was top-notch, and the hotel is conveniently located right by the beach.
